The light is gorgeous making all the feathering pattern, color, detail and color of the bird strong; this is an impact image. I especially like the bird walking on the log. CONGRATS :D :D :D :D :D

Beautiful image, Joseph. The color of the log is ideal. I might move the bird slightly to the left.

This is gorgeous! How many nanoseconds did she actually perch on the log?

I agree with Sandy on placing the bird more to the left in the frame. If you did, this would be as close to perfect as it gets in my opinion!

Joseph,

This is a beautiful shot. The light couldn't be better. She looks great against the green background.

I have enjoyed both of your posts of the Bobwhite. They are stunning. Everything sure came together on these. And you couldn't ask for sweeter light.
