This incredible bird is calling on his singing perch.

Incredible is indeed the word. And amazing. Well done as usual, Alan.

Great bird and excellent techs. Love the pose, the DOF and the comp.

Amazing close up image, Alan.

Absolutely!

Someone get that bird a razor! Amazing as usual, Alan.

Wow :cheers:

Killer calling pose and amazing that you were able to get this close to such an elusive species. Whites look a tad hot around the color. :) Maybe it's a tad bright overall. Wish this frame were mine!

Very unique image, and when does this species ever even get posted?! The head angle is excellent and gives a great look at the inside of the bird's mouth, which really pops with color.

Outstanding portrait of an extremely rare bird. Florida Canyon?

I agree with Marina that the whites look a tad hot. I think it would look better if you dialed back the contrast significantly.

Great Work Done here................Gerat SHot.
