    What a little stunner, and the photography is not too bad either . Excellent flash control. Being really picky, pity about that little sprout covering the left leg and upper tail.

    Beautiful breading plumage and nice singing pose. The nice background and the fresh green of the leaves makes it a very fine image, Alan.

    Love these little guys. Great singing pose and striking medley of greens in perch and bg. Well done as usual.

    This image is just tops, Alan. What I like about it most is that it is so stunning with that calling pose and vegetation, yet quite simple as well.

    Great pose and lovely grey on green contrast. Love the way the leaves almost merge into the BG

    Hi Alan, super calling/singing pose, and I like how you didnt cut off the end of the perch. Clean BG.

    What I like the most is the leaf to the left, the bird has nice pose but looks a bit over sharpened and over flashed.
