You certainly made the Meadowlark a shining star in this one. The detail is wonderful....but that complementary BG is outstanding. Too bad we can't "bottle" those stunning BGs and use them when we need them. Well done.
Like this, although the sun could have been in a better position instead of the birds back you've done a great job. The B/G looks superb, love the angle of the barbed wire too, it shows the DOF really well. Great colours, nice comp, sharp.
