Bloomer
Paid a visit to the Spotted Sandpiper breeding grounds again a week ago and this chap was kind enough to perch on a blooming Mullein for me this time.
Based on the plumage it is certainly a different subject from the previous post, and no audio was used this time.

LR and PS, selective DN. Stamped out two bright spots and a string of saliva hanging from the beak. Cleaned up a couple of the thistle seeds on the Mullein.
Another winner Brian. Exposure looks spot on...lovely BG. Not much to not like here
Spectacular pose, perch, light, BG. Nicely done, once again. Is there a bit of motion blur on the lower mandible?
Too cool. Nice to see the mullein flowers. Killer background as well.
nice perch and BG Brian, composition is a bit too centered for me and I might sharpen the tip of the bill a touch more.

Bill, always great to hear from you. Thank you for the feedback.
Good eye, there sure could be a touch there. I think more so just a touch soft in that part.
John thanks, I was glad to see the flowers too!
Thanks Arash. With all these Mullein perches I've posted some subjects more a-centric and others more centered and it seems there's usually a preference either way. Can definitely see one more right in frame too.
Bill tip noted.
DATPCA. The calling pose and sweet light put this one over the top. I would not have minded the bird being a bit farther back in the frame.
with love, artie

As a shorebird fan, this is super sweet. I love everything about it - lighting, color, detail, etc. The view of the little feet is great. **** you and your mullein.....
Hi Brian .. sweet image .
Simple design and the subject looks about perfect , maybe " too perfect" in light .... ending in a flat 2D look with that frontal light , almost looking " flashed" .
Just my take .
Cannot give any great critique , as I am limited to my MBP .
