Awesome singing pose and I like the natural setting. I do wish the small stick didn't intersect with the tail but it is a lovely perch and the sharp eye is great!
Awesome pose and bird placement in the frame. Love the rich colours and creamy BG. Just a bit too many leaves IMO (wish the FG group wasn't there), but still a strong image.
Nice detail and exposure Stuart. I actually like the perch with all its leaves, shows where they live. The simple/singular perches are nice but its good to see more of reality in these type of images from time to time. Nice colors and bg. Well done.

You handled this like a pro, Stu. I have some sympathy for Todd's view that it's good to see reality, warts and all, but with Daniel I'm seeing the foreground leaves as detrimental to the image. The foliage is just a bit excessive; the lark is just about to sink into it. The singing pose and spot-on exposure overcome the problems and make this image a pleasure to behold.
Hi Stuart, a beautiful sharp image and great singing pose with raised crest. Good exposure and sharpness and I am allways in favour of some habitat included.
