1st Spring Bluebird

[Paul Lagasi]

First Bluebird to show up in our area, he flew just after I took 1st image, not bad considering I was hand holding, wished I'd had a bit higher shutterspeed, to freeze him. Does this photo still look to soft?

Thank goodness winter is over..but sorry to see Owls go....

Terrific topside pose! If only you'd gotten this bird a little sharper, you'd have an awesome image. I'm glad winter is starting to melt away up in Canada. Rumor has it that my hometown got an inch of snow overnight.

It is soft, but the pose and colors are nice. It may be melting away there but we have a foot of snow on the ground.

The pose is very cool but I would sharpen it more.
