Thanks for looking

Very nice Jean-Marc! Love the singing pose. Sharpness is good, and BG is smooth. If you've got it, a little more room at the bottom would be nice.

This is equisitely done: sharp, oh so sharp, and a perfect head angle, and a lovely BKGR. More room on the bottom for the perch would have been great but I would take this in a second...

I love this image- the composition, colour and light, BG, and you did exceptionally well to get close enough with the 70-200. I see a small amount of noise in the right hand portion of the eye but only when I increase the angle of viewing on my LCD screen. Overall superb in my book!

I'm surprised this image has not garnered more attention...it's quite superb! Apart from more room at bottom (and not much) I can't see how this could be improved. Great singing pose! Was it responding to a recorded call?

Oui Daniel, l'oiseau répondait à un enregistrement à environ 2.5 mètres de mon télé-objectif !
j"ai pris environ 40 shots .

Merci Jean-Marc! J'ai aussi eu de la chance avec cette méthode avec une Grive Solitaire...encore une fois, très beau!
