Photographed in upstate New York on the weekend. It was very warm and humid and this kingbird lifted the wings because of that.

Nice light, pose, DOF and perfect comp! :)
The pose is majestic Axel and the BG really good. I love that eye contact!!
excellent image with lovely bokeh. i might be tempted to rotate the image CCW a wee bit.
Love the background and the somewhat spread wings...kind of reminds me of a great blue heron beginning their wing spread to dissipate heat when it's warm and humid outside.
Excellent pose with a very nice subject love the bg might tone down the top of the bill and the left of the perch also brighten the eye a tad to bring out the natural color
nice

Just perfect Axel !!! Love the sharpness and great detail Excellent feel !!!
Nice as presented Axel! The subtle behavior is a plus. I might tone down the bottom left of the perch but that's about it.
anoyher quick viveza job with three clicks
Thanks for the repost, John. The perch looks good, I find the eye a bit too bright, at least on my monitor.
I'm wondering if some of the blacks near the head (especially in the back and the cheek) area could go a tad darker. Otherwise really nice! I like the vertical pose :-)
Really nice,fantastic bg and great pose!!!
Great pose and beautiful capture Axel with excellent eye contact and detail. A killer BG too. Definitely a keeper !!!!!
Love the pose and the clean, warm BG. I love Viveza too!
Just insert all the positive things said above and that's my feelings. With the beak toned down it's about close to perfect in my eyes.
wish this were mine Axel.....beautiful bird and bg.
the viveza appears a tad bright to me, but do like the tone of upper bill a lot
Killer photo. Love the pose and the clean background. Repost brings out a tad more detail. Excellent work.
Wow, wow, the perch, bird, BG and eye contact are great, jc
Axel
I sure like the pose.....and those wings. Simplicity at it's best. The repost looks good on my current laptop.....but it might have some bright areas on my other one. Therefore I'll just keep drooling now.
