Stonechat - singing

[Richard Unsworth]

HA not perfect but here in full song. Actually if you look you can see his blurred tongue as it works!
Processed in CS6 (DPP gone wonky?) adjustment in curves, and very light NR Topaz.
sticks removed lower left and right to clean BG. dodge eye reflection.

7d 100-400 late afternoon 1/1000 ME HH F5.6 ISO 400

Nice simple comp. I like the singing pose too but wonder if the "tongue" is actually thin feather whiskers. Good perch. I agree with the HA, and there is a spot near lower right edge that should go.
