Hi Chris,
Great light and BG. Open beak always nice. I like the rock as a perch. Has a "Lion King" feel to it.Very nice IQ

Nice singing pose and beautiful background, Chris.

Chris:

Lovely light, nice singing pose, pleasant BG, well exposed, neat perch.

Yes, a sliver lower on the grasses would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I might try a version with a minor crop from right.

Cheers

Randy

Hi Chris, love the light and colours in this, and well timed to capture the calling pose. Good DOF, sharp, and if anything, I would maybe take a touch off the RHS.
