Hi Phil,
this is a wonderful shot of this nice bird, like its name tells: Reed Bunting :smile:
Color of the bird and the environment is perfect. The little reed that comes out of
its throat distracts me a bit :rolleyes:

Hi Phil,
I like the shot very much. But there are a number of white spots on my screen around the bird. I'm working on my laptop now so that could be a problem, because I can not see very good what these spots are. Are this flies or mosquitos?

Lovely bird and background. I'd be tempted to take out most of the lower OOF stuff and trim a little off the right side, which I feel would balance the composition.

I like it just as it is Phil, superb habitat shot, would love to get something as good.

Most attractive indeed, agree entirely with comments made above by Ian Mason regarding the composition. :toast:

I also think Ian has made the right choices with the image but think it's great to see some of the environment and for that reason I'm enjoying it as is. Are they mosquitos behind the bird..?
