Dominick, nicely rendered shot! Tonal quality and color balance make it easy to overlook that the bird is nearly entirely sidelit. Those thorns would be quite discouraging for any bird of prey considering an assault. Well done!

Nice that you caught the beak open in song and that the thorns add edginess to what could have been a fairly common photo of a bird. Makes me wonder if the nest is nearby and protected by thorns too.

Thanks for commenting.  It occurred to me too that the very happy song was a result of feeling very safe and secure in the mesquite thorns.  This shot was taken in a wildlife sanctuary where I observed countless cat traps.  There are groups here that capture feral cats, neuter them, and turn them loose.  All I have to say is, what about the birds?  Cats will hunt for sport.  It's hard to imaging a Maui without the constant chattering of birds.  Aloha all.

Dominick, I could hear the song of this seed-eating songbird coming from its open mouth that you captured so beautifully. The composition is likewise exceptional as if the bird is singing for freedom from the surrounding thorns. 

Congratulations and thanks for commenting on my image. Regards!

Lester
