    Killer calling pose and amazing that you were able to get this close to such an elusive species. Whites look a tad hot around the color. :) Maybe it's a tad bright overall. Wish this frame were mine!

    Very unique image, and when does this species ever even get posted?! The head angle is excellent and gives a great look at the inside of the bird's mouth, which really pops with color.

    Outstanding portrait of an extremely rare bird. Florida Canyon?

    I agree with Marina that the whites look a tad hot. I think it would look better if you dialed back the contrast significantly.
