Singing Flycatcher

[Monte Brown]

This is one of many color flycatchers of Bolivia, could not do a vertical, the grass was in a retention lagoon with a drain pipe about 3" below the shot and power lines running above. Slight crop on each side.

Comments appreciated.

Pose and perch look very nice. I would crop it a bit tighter, there is too much negative space top and left for my taste.

I am with Axel. If it can stand the crop...

I like the singing pose.

ps: It looks fine for the web!

Good comp alternative from Artie. If the details can stand it this is for sure the way to go! I'd also experiment in toning down the cheek/neck areas a bit. Awesome singing pose and perch!

Thanks for all the comments, Artie your crop greatly improves the image.
