The sun finally came out this morning after 10 days of pure crapola weather. It was nice to return to the prairie.

    Very nice capture, good exposure, greta detail and a fine defocused backgound. It is amazing though how those lousy birds always manage to get a branch or a blade of grass in front of them.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks, Harry. :D

    On this one, I don't mind the twig too much....it kind of frames him a gives depth to the shot. That being said, yes I would prefer it wasn't there at all.mwink.gif
