Love the colors in the lichens matching the birds nape. Nice pose, sharp, well exposed, nice DOF, singing pose.

Beautiful pose and detail and the complimentary colors put it over the top.

Not your usual aesthetics in a shot but still wonderfull, great pose, moment, light, colors and detail. Congrats.

Gotta love Montana! The play between the rusty colors in the bird and the perch is great and, I imagine, was well planned. Great creamy BG really sets the bird off. Very nice.
