Hi Gus:

Super photo with nice background, no wonder a lot of shore bird photographers call our birds, "Stick birds" because of all the branches.

I like that little guy, great exposure as usual with perfect composition.:cool:

Thanks for sharing.

I like this image. The colors really set the mode. I like the placement of the bird in the frame as the negative space combined with the soft light and colors really set the mood. As mentioned the color on the breast is very nice plus. Congratulations!

Phil
