    Oh Wow
    Caught it perfectly perched and calling that makes it fantastic.
    The perch is so nice and the colors on the bird are perfectly captured , love the bg and the sharpness on the bird.
    We get these as winter visitors however the neck color is not this elaborate during that time, love the image here

    Looks great overall with aweome colours, perch, BG. I just wish the FG OOF element was not there to obstruct the bottom of the perch.

    Great singing pose of this striking species.
    Wish the foreground obstructions were not there, but I image you do as well.

    Hi Frank, a nice angled singing pose, and well timed to capture the open beak. I do like the colours, and can clearly see how the name was derived. Great BG, and I would crop up from the bottom to get rid of the OOF plant. I dont believe it would affect the comp.

    Frank you must have been over the moon when you got this shot - congratulations it is excellent, not only is he a handsome bird but he is calling whilst perched on a pleasant perch with a clear background.

    Wish it were mine! Love the blue/orange on the bird and the dynamic calling pose is to die for.

    I love everything about this photo. Excellent timing; the sharpness and isolation with a clean background are perfect.

    This is one beautiful bird image Frank. It is so good that I really don't want to mention the OOF stuff in the FG, it is the only negative to this image. Very well done.

    Great singing pose Frank! Just wish that OOF plant wasn't sitting in front of the perch.

    It is difficult for me to even consider the oof fg element being mentioned...the bird and pose are just too beautiful to see
    much else. Gorgeous frame sir.
