 At the Sacramento Wildlife Preserve the migration is almost over, but there were still plenty of birds for me to photograph. I was so very fortunate to get this close to a meadowlark. While I had the full bird, the detail was so good, I decided to go for a close crop of the head.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the free study challenge

The vivid colouring and detail are the elements that give your image additional impact. You made very best use of the golden opportunity that presented itself to you by careful selection of the technical details, a choice of aperture to get sufficient depth of field to capture all of the bird, including its beak, whilst isolating it from the background and retaining sufficient soft focus detail. This is a very accomplished study that deserved a higher score and comments, I hope this makes up for it. Well done Alice.
