Spent some time with the Bobolinks this morning but that might be a different post.

Lots to like here Neil - Gorgeous BG that compliments the bird nicely, like the singing pose and the Perch.
Composition is good - maybe at ad more space on the LHS??
Good one.
Keep em coming and dont forget to leave comments for others!

Yes, I would certainly agree with your bird ID.

Very nice photo. I really like the nice perch and bg.

Lots of detail and lovely singing pose.

Hi Neil, Good even light and a nice pose. Backround is nicely muted with the subject sitting on an interesting perch. I like the birds positioning within the frame and would only take a bit off the top.

This is very nice, love the singing pose, nice perch, good background, and the bird itself has lots of feather details too. I might just run NR on the background to smooth it even more.

Very nice singing pose, clean BG and an interesting perch. Well done.

Hi Neil Good looking bird and gorgeous bg !!! Can only add trying to stop down more for dof, nothing in the bg interfering and you want as much as possible in these situations !!! Excellent !!

[Neil Nourse]
