Canon 1D-X, 500mmx 1.4TC, handheld
f8, 1/800, ISO640

I can't really explain why this photo appeals to me. The soggy Meadowlark the leaning sign and the bird poop and the sign's message all seem to link together somehow. I'm curious as to your reactions.

80% of full frame, selective brightening and contrast of the bird; it was drizzling with very flat light.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Nice color, detail and pose here Jim. The grain of the wood and the detail of the feathers are particularly nice. The subliminal message about wastewater is very funny. I really appreciate humor in outdoor photography. It just lightens up the whole mood of life sometimes.
