A few frames later than the image of this same bird I posted a few days ago.

I appreciate all your comments and look forward to your input on this one.

Thanks,

Dennis,

very nice, especially the colors, which remind me to my several stays I have had in Tucson / AZ.

Nice comp and colors, Dennis. Background and perch work well, and the sidelight adds dimension to the photo. Nicely done!

Hi Dennis, I like this image better than the other shot of this pheobe you posted. I like the side lighting here and the nice head turn. To my eye the eye of the bird doesn't look tack sharp in the larger version, I would try to add a little selective sharpening there. devil
