Brown Headed Cowbird

 Brown Headed Cowbird, on a wet, wet, wet April day.

Throwback

 I took this photo back in October of 2022.  It is along old Rt. 66, I think it was just south of Springfield, IL.  At the time I pressed the shutter, I thought "That's it!".  Later, looking at it on the computer, I was still pretty happy with it.  Then I posted it to a couple of photo sites, and the response was, well underwhelming.  A few days ago, I was posting a few photos to a newer (to me) site and decided to post this there.  While it got a little more response, it was less than expected, and not exactly enthusiastic.

So now I'm sitting here with my "imposter syndrome" flaring up.  

Oh well, I still like this one.  A lot.  Could it be better?  I wish the placement of the cars was different, both are blocked by poles.  But I did take several tries with passing cars.  And I'd like a hint more motion-blur on the cars.  And maybe a more 16x9 kind of crop, to cut out some of the foreground...  Or maybe I should print it and hang it on my wall, and enjoy it as is.
