Another photo from my recent trip to Eagle Summit in the White Mountains. This female Lapland Longspur was my most cooperative bird.

Selective sharpening to bird. Cropped to vertical.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

This is a beauty Jim. I like the composition, the rock anchors everything and it is colorful and has a good pyramidal shape to showcase the bird.

I like the habitat almost as much as the bird. Neat shot, Jim.

Very nice habitat shot, Jim. You got a great head-turn. Love the perch and the vegetation in the FG.

Not sure, but to my eyes, the bird looks a tad soft. Thanks for sharing this.
