Indigo Bunting

[Bob Shaw]

Had a pair eating grubs in a parking lot near the river this morning. I would rather had one on a perch, but I'll take these little beauties any way I can. :) I see now I have it a little centered, but that's fixable. Thanks for looking, Bob

Good details, colors and eye contact. I would crop a bit off top and bottom and lighten the eye a bit. You could also try to darken the surrounding since the light looks rather harsh.

Nice exposure and detail in the feathers. Wish he were perched instead of being in the ground.

Agree on the perch. What a beautiful bird though. They aren't very colored up down here usually. I would try a highlight multiply to tame that gravel a bit.
