Another Red Belly

[Nick Palmieri]

Shot this guy at a local nature center. For some reason they love hanging out on the backside of the tree but he decided to come around the front a few times today. There were feeders around and this guy was waiting his turn. Canon EOS 1DMK4, 600mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6, SS 1/800s.

Love that tongue!... which makes it a bit different from the classical wp shot.
I like the green moss on the tree and the way it compliments the red.
Eye looks terrific.
I might play with the saturation in the BG as I am not fussy about the putty color,( personal taste issue )

Lovely shot of this species Nick. I assume that's his tongue he is biting on! The colours look right on, nice background and tree bark. Nice simple design.

Wonderful portrait, Nick. Great exposure, and I like the view of the tongue and the way he's angled towards you. I like the background color.

Nice pose and beutiful background, Nick. The tongoue showing is a rare to see big plus. A little less tree trung and more background would work as well.

Wonderful image, Nick. Super pose and I really like the background. The detail in the eye and feathers is amazing.
