Another Strange Perch

[Charles Daigle]

The lack of trees in the high arctic is very annoying. I went back to the snow bunting nest and snapped this little furball's image.

This is sooo adorable. HAve you though of attaching a perch to the fence in case they go for the natural? Goo head angle and catch light. Mixed feeling about the bill merging with the face. Great EXP and light. I m ay crop some off the top, no need for so much negative space there. ALthough the bird is rather centered, I'd be tempted to keep the fence detail in the right of frame :)

Angle, fluffed-up pose, eye contact and BG look very good. I hope you will be able to photograph them at a nicer setting, too.

Thank you both for the critique. I will try and go again tonight a put a piece of fence wire between a few of the pieces of wreckage. This is an aircraft crash site from about 1960!
