A photo from a few days ago from the edge of Mexico City; from 3000 m elevation. I wish the tail was visible and not behind the reed...but I still like the pose. Comments are welcome.

Lorant, Excellent IQ and details. Exposure looks spot on and that perch, composition and BG is beautiful...I wish the tail was not hiding behind the perch and slightly better HA would have made it perfect.

Excellent comp, sharpness and pose, Lorant. The slanting perch works very well. Nice flash work too.

But lovely pose nonetheless, fine detail is great and like especially his/her little claws wrapping around the stem...very nice

Sharp, well exposed, and love the browns and muted green BG as well as the diagonal reed perch. I agree with the tail, and with a slightly better HA.

Very nice detail and tones here. I also like the comp and the perch. Too bad about the tail.
TFS,

Great to find one in the open. I like the bird, background is as smooth as it could be, Lorant.
You probably wished for a better tail position.
