David, one couldn’t ask for a better pose this this Towhee gave you. Those bright eyes, the head turn, just makes this shot really special. The perch and background is a nice bonus. Very nice shot.
That’s a very cool head on pose David with a great perch. I think it would also work well as more of a vertical/squarish crop with some taken from the left.
Great look at the bird. Love the pose. Looks like it was sidelit? You handled that well. I always love your mossy perches. The BG is pretty bright. I’d consider trying to tone it down a bit.
