Not a typical perch for this species, they prefer the tall grasses in a nearby rancher's cattle yard. I welcomed an opportunity for this unobstructed view. Taken in Prescott AZ, early am, background is grass, weeds and shrubs.
I love the details and light, colors and BG too, the pose is very nice and the eye contact great. This is one good looking bird! The only "thing" to me would be the perch wich kind of distracts me as it is very present and the fact that it is so bright preety much makes the two subjects (perch and bird) rival each other in presence. Still a terrific shot!!! Congratulatons!
I am envious.... Crop the rock from the bottom to the top of your signature and then selectively sharpen the bird and my envy will likely turn to jealousy!
