The LP looks very nice Charles, love the evergreen perch and all that green..
Excellent detail, colors, and exposure, nice POV too.
I especially like your comp here, and that wonderful singin' pose

Have a great 4th!

Very nice pose, setting and composition.

Color is off a bit IMO and needs warmed up some. I'll email details and we can discuss some simple adjustments.

Nice capture Chuck. I like the fact that the bird is singing his heart out! Kind of like he is on stage.

Great singing pose! Love the greens of the perch and BG.
Colours look fine to me - but I'd sure be interested in what you and Rich come up with. Please add the re-post, if you agree?

This is beautiful - the pose, composition and background are great. But I am seeing a slight green cast.

Congratulations, Chuck! I don't think I've ever seen a singing Towhee perched up like this. I like the composition.

Chuck, Love the enthusiasm evident in that singing pose and really enjoy the setting. Your composition is a strong point as is your DOF to get the depth of this perch mostly sharp. Nicely done.

Well done Charles. Good use of the perch in the composition. Colors are very nice as well.
