Great job with this reclusive bird Wayne! Nice singing pose with good sharpness. I might burn the RLC a little and I would consider eliminating or softening the intersecting lines formed by the OOF branches in front of the bird. I'd love to see one of these someday. Thanks for posting.

I can't believe you got this one singing! Great pose. I agree with Doug's suggestions about burning in the perch a bit.

Hay Wayne awesome singing pose, just wish it was doing so more towards you. He really is belting it out, eh - and I like the hint of tongue sticking out.! This Ovenbird (one word ;)) seems more greenish than what I'm used to.

Great to be able to catxh him singing! Doug gave you great advise and keep them coming!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Beautiful pose and excellent detail and composition. I agree with Doug's suggestion . Congratulations on a great image Wayne. I can imagine how thrilled you must have been to capture this one.

[Stephen Stephen]

Congratulations Wayne. I love the head crest.

Beautiful bird, and nice for the head turned away. Looks great for ISO 800. Wide open beak is a big plus!

Awesome!! How did you get this with a 200mm lens?
