Here's one I just processed that I took in 2006. Gotta love the Texas size Thistle ;-)

Great BG & pose on this meadowlark. While I really like the thistle, I think it is a bit over powering. Excellent techs.

Wonderful colors, Alan!
I love the perch but maybe a tad oversharpened?
Killer singing pose. Set-up? Tape? From a blind? Love the foot in the thistle.

Killer. Sharpening looks about right to me. They are pretty sharp![]()

Thanks Alan. YAW. Overall the image is quite stunning. Had you seen the bird singing from this flower before you got into position?

Lovely image, Alan. Awesome perch, pose and bg. I too love that foot on the thistle.
Artie, thanks for asking those questions and thanks, Alan, for responding.
One more, if I may:
where did you place your speaker to call the bird?
Right under the perch, or ...?
