A beautiful image, Kenn! Such glorious colors. I love the soloist pose! 🙂 Really striking with the old limb and the bird in such definition.

  Thank you, George. Perched on that old branch and backed by that cloudless sky, the bird was really hamming it up, so all I had to do was focus and snap. Yet another lucky shot!
