Eastern Meadowlark

Gallery: AvianPosted September 5, 2013184 views4 comments

This acrobatic crooner was found on a pasture in Eastern Panama in early August in overcast conditions.

I cloned a distracting branch in the left of the frame. Usual P/P in Lightroom 4 and CS6.

Very nice photo of a bird that is hard to get off the ground.
Nice perch and pose. I might take a bit off the right.
