I like this one Alex. Lovely detail on the bird and a great looking pose and HA. Perch looks good, and I like the feet grabbing the small perch. The BG colour really shows the bird well.

Well done

Wicked photo, bird, and BKGR. What was the Background? Sharp with a lovely skinny perch and a great singing pose. with love, artie

Nice color, detail, pose on this very noisy bird with the funny name :)

[Allen Sparks]

Thank you for the comments William, Artie, and Michael.

The background is a very distant stand of trees that I was able to line up with my vehicle.

Great singing pose, details, color, perch. I've never been able to get this close to this species. Well done. Maybe a bit tight in the frame.

Nicely captured calling pose, Allen. Like the detail and beautiful BG. Well done.

Cool bird, and I love the way it is clutching the perch. Nice colours. There is a small horizontal protrusion sticking out of the far end of the open bill that I would remove. A "true" vertical may work well here as well, but I like the square presentation.
