Ouch!! That has to be uncomfortable. :)
Nice singing pose. Nice exposure. Pretty sharp.
I wish the tail wasn't blocked by the 'bud' in the LLC. If possible, a step or two to your right might have helped the HA and the blockage, but I suspect you were shooting from a blind. Shooting angle a bit steep.
Thanks for sharing this fellow!

Nice open bill. Is it a larger crop? See small details on the bird.
Angle is a bit steep.

I like the calling pose and eye contact. It would have been great to see more of the tail.

Scott, super pose with the open beak. I would liked to have seen more room on the left.

You did a good job of keeping the "imaginary" tail in the frame( I sometimes forget about feet and tails if I can not see them.
Good calling pose ,but would have taken the brown spot off beak since viewers eye is drawn to the bill(nit picking I know)
