Nice work, Kevin. The bird is nicely detailed, perch is interesting and the background just about perfect. The color of the bird is a little darker than the ones I see in Florida, but the feathers do get bleached from the sun. Thank you for sharing.

Nice details, pose and HA...Great looking perch and BG. I also like your chosen crop. If anything I may try lightening up the bird a wee bit.

Classic RWBB image.
Nice perch and BG. Exposure spot on and IQ very good.
I wish that bit of blue sky was not at the top of the frame but not a big deal.

Nice to see the female out in the open. Classic cattail perch. Killer background. Nice pose and detail.

Nice sharp look on beautiful glowing BG! The blue spot Gail notes could be easily cloned if you desired. Love the cattail as well, just wish more of it was in focus. Big fan of the more traditional crop proportions!
