    Jim:

    Simple strong composition, with attractive perch, nice colors. Sharp, with good exposure, nice details in yellows.

    I might also consider a vertical version.

    There is a visible horizontal line in the BG, RLC, about the level of the birds feet. Possibly from your barbed wire?

    Very nice image.

    I can't remember if I used audio or not. I think I was just driving by an saw him singing, but I'm not positive. I do it both ways for the Meadowlarks.
