My first frame of this fun little bird! This morning was imagined as a birding outing, but I returned to the car and grabbed my rig when I saw a couple of these guys singing from exposed perches in an open field. I would have preferred a vertical composition, but I went with this wider, horizontal view because I didn't have the pixels to go in closer without degrading the IQ beyond my usual standards. This is the most uniform background I've ever generated, so I think the bird still pops in the exaggerated green surrounds. Gotta get him singing next time!
