Fantastic. Wonderful pose, colors and background.
Excellent work ...I'm sure you were pleased with getting this bird...I'd be over the moon.
Nice BG color pallet for this bird. Congrats on the find and shot.
Nice flash work, composition and pose, Alan. I don't recollect ever seeing a shot of this bird in a calling pose. Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding work Alan, a bird i am seeing for the first time! Awesome!!!!
Nice one, looks so much a night jar
lovely flash work here, open beak really makes it interesting.
It is amazing to get one calling and the eyes are open. I don't recall ever seeing a picture like this before. Great work, Alan.
Wow! What a catch! A bird I have only read about.
Congrats on this awesome find with such a clean environment.
I find that there is a flashed look and might decrease the brightness of the bird a bit.
I love the little foot and the hairs around the beak.
I would so love to have this in my files but even more to have the privilege of seeing him in real life.

Firstly I never actually realized a Whip-poor-will was a Owl type bird, very similar to what we call a Nightjar.
Nicely done I think, the detail especially the fine hairs around the beak are extra good, love the calling posture with open beak. Maybe a tad over flashed judging mostly by the bright twigs
Wow!!!!
What a shot.
Excellent comp and details.
Love the slight view of the toe nails and great perch.
Well done.
Great singing pose.Beautiful bird and colors.Very nice BG color pallet. Beautiful composition.
