It is a lovely image Bill. Good focus and feather detail. I love the sky / clouds bg.

A nice image of this bird I've never heard of...thought it was a robin at first till I read the location!! Inclusion of the prey is a plus. I might consider removing the green/purple OOF plant in the bottom left foreground as it distracts more for having color than anything else.

Lovely detail on the Redwing. I like the perch and the BG shows the bird well. An unusual image, the only time we see them, they are usually perched on a tree.

We just see these birds in the winter time so it's good to see this in it's breeding condition,this is a nice neat shot Bill with the bird perched on the highest rock giving you good composition.That's a real beak full of insects.

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all.

Nice shot Bill I lke the pose and the setting. I wonder if it would look even better if the image was warmed up a little bit?
