This is an interesting pose. It almost looks like it was falling backwards :)

Btw, would you mind elaborating on the infrared set-up for this photo?

This is stunning, the first time I see this type of work with this species, great pose and detail! A bit of NR could help. Congratulaitons!

Cool capture, I like the pose, details and the "target" and would only remove the second catchlight.

Lovely action shot, congrats.

Well done, Pepe. Great capture. The light is lovely and BG very smooth. I really like the look of concentration on the bird's face.

My set-up consist in 4 flashes, a feeder, an artificial background and an IR device that shots the camera when a flying bird crosses the IR bean
