    Default Painted Bunting

    Hey you all.

    it has been quite a while since I have posted here the last time. However, I thought it's time to post again. :)

    Here's one from a couple of months ago from Texas.
    Taken right after sun rise, not even one minute after :)

    Well that is a beauty in all respects! Subject, perch, and all the techs look good. I really love the light patch in LLC. Two thumbs up from me!

    Beautiful Image. Bird is obviously stunning, but I also enjoy the soft BG and lichen on the perch.
    good job!

    Beautiful. Hard to beat a great bird, great light, open beak and nice perch. So pleasing.

    Super job Jan! Great perch, perfect pose with the beak slightly open, and excellent light. I love the smooth gradation of the BG color. The bird is really sharp too!

    Well Jan, a great comeback image. Pose, perch, BG and light all working well here. I like how you got almost all of that perch in focus. Great work.

    Gorgeous perched bird, how did you get it so lit up on natural light that early? If you have a tip to share I am all ears. Nice getting it in mid-call too.
