I guess birds are impervious to cactus spines since you never actually hear them say this! I wish his eye was all the way open...

Nice image, Cindy.

I like the perch and the pose. The composition and light are great.

Not much to nit about.

Love it - especially with the eye the way it is. I'm glad it's not open all the way! Suggests a personality to go with stepping lightly through the spines.

I think the eye is perfect for this subject. Also like the shadows of the wing.

LOL Great image. I think the squinting gives the him an appropriate expression that adds to this. Presenting the painful perch prize.

Oh, NO! The eye really makes this photo; lock this one up, it will surely come in handy some day. You are plain lucky to get an "expression" like this. It's priceless.
