Ahhh…. This is really beautiful. The soft muted light works great, the complimentary background, the leaves the bunting is on and I really like the feel of shooting through some leaves. Very nice.

Yeah, I agree with Keith on this one. Really good job on the color, setting, and background. Detail is excellent. If I were going to do anything, I might cut down on some of the negative space in the top. I can also see half stop of increased exposure on the front of the head and face between the eyes and the beak. But just a tad.

What a beauty. Agree with previous comments about the background and shooting through the leaves-very nice effect. I could also see a slight crop from the top. Excellent work.

Hi Eduard  
Very pretty Indigo Bunting. The shallow depth of field, really makes this bird stand out. I looked at the large posting and the heads exposure looks correct. Nice way to end the day.
