Captured at St Vrain State Park ...always wanted a RWBB shot like this. Thoughts welcomed

Nice action shot of him calling. I do like the top of the cat-tail on the bottom of the frame, but I think cropping some of the top may improve the image. Well done blurring the background. :toast:

Cool! I agree with Mikes crop idea.

I don't know what the background is comprised of, but I love it! Really sets the birdy apart from it.

Excellent light to reveal the detail in the bird's feathers. Great pose as he puts everything into his call.

Not one thing wrong with this one. Great catch, John!

Nice bokeh, and I agree with John: not one thing wrong.
