Danny, congrats on a great image of a bird that has eluded me so far. Sharp, good color and treat detail. If it were mine I would try to clone out that grass stem directly behind the head. Just a fantastic image. :wavey:

Wonderful shot! Great bird and detail, nice perch and BG.
If this were mine, I'd try for a very long time to clone out the dark shadow across the tail. This shot would be worth the time.

A fine image - full of life and very natural. I love the pose, the setting, the colors of the BG. The shadow on the tail is not an issue for me in any way.

Danny,

A magical image - I love everything about it, but especially the open beak/visible tongue

Excellent work, both the techs and the behavioral capture. First rate work.

I love it as is Danny. If this were mine, I would not change a thing. Very well done.

A wonderful image Danny. Love the singing pose and the vertical elements fore and aft with the diagonal perch. I wouldn't alter one pixel here.

Danny,

This is really beautiful, the singing pose is great and the light truly makes this bird shine.

I really hope you'll begin to post the larger 1200 pixel version, I would have loved to have savored the details here in a larger image.

Love the open mouth perch and surounding elements. The dof made some great lines
