Looks great - low perspective, eye contact, exposure, watery setting - all good

Strange looking, but cool little bird! I like the setting and the blue black of the front of it, along with that crazy forehead. Sharon

Interesting bird; you're hitting the jackpot in Thailand, Rob. Nice work on the blacks and whites in what looks like tough light.

A very nice capture. The low angle is excellent as is your balance on the exposure given the lighting and lack of fill flash. The habitat looks tight so I'm reading it as smaller streams with a fairly dense canopy. If that is correct, an exceptional capture under the conditions.
