    I captured this image while driving along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida. Some may prefer a more natural perch but along this road it is not to be found. The road runs through sod farms and pastures that are fenced, so the birds use what is available... fence posts. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    I have driven down Joe Overstreet Road a couple of times and have never been very succesful in finding anything!
    Great BG colors and I am OK with the perch.
    The image feels dark to me and I would increase the exposure by a half a stop.

    Nice bird and background, Joe. My choice would be a tighter crop maybe a vertical if it were mine.
