California Quail on post

Your advice is welcome. Shot from a car window with my 300mm zoom

Almost a nice shot. I would have photoshopped the large stem of grass out of the way. Best of luck!

I was torn between removing it or leaving it. I thought it gave a nice, natural frame with that oat stem arcing like it does. But I'll try it without the stem too. I appreciate the advice. Now where in heck can I find some cowgirls around Hollister, CA like you have in your portfolio?

I love these little birds. Nice detail and DOF. Too bad about the light colored grass in the midground. It kinda steals the show because it is a lighter color and attracts my eye first.

 

You have a fine collection of birds.

I must be the only person on the planet who likes that oat stem. Oh well.
