Had the joy of encountering this Western Bluebird late last summer. With a little audio was able to get him to come to a beautiful, blooming Mullein plant.

Very nice indeed Brian, it has a lovely quality feel about it. I like the colours , being hypercritical may be subject is a little central in the frame, otherwise tickety boo for me.

Spring is in the air. Really colourfull image.

So rare for me to see them. Closest I got was a distant sighting in the interior of BC a few years ago, no photos, but at least got a feather that was left on the trail Great image. I like the vertical crop which works well with the perch.

Hey Brian ... love the overall color intensity .
The subject is looking so good on the flower , stunning color contrast across the frame.
Usual high IQ ....
If I do See a variant ... it would be a gradient across the BG . Staying lighter in the upper BG .... fading into darker FG . Just as an alternative .

I enjoyed watching this peachy shot

Thank you for the feedback everyone!

Andreas, I absolutely agree. I am remiss that I didn't use a little gradient touch for separation here.
