    This is the time of the year when they do their mating rituals.
    It is fun to watch.
    Thanks for looking.

    Great looking Display pose with the open bill and the cool looking posture. The exposure and details look perfect on this one and I really like the good look at that redeye. Very nice Karl.

    Good mating behaviour depicted here! Good low angle, nice details. Perfect head/body angle subtly towards us. A dusty bunny is waiting to be removed at right edge (the wing tip is pointing to it).

    A great pose, good comp. I'm wondering if you can tweak just a little more detail out of the blacks on the cheek. And maybe a little eye doctor work to remove the second catchlight and darken the pupil would make the head seem sharper (even though it's already sharp as witnessed by the teeth).

    Lovely image Karl. Great POV and pose. Details on the bird are real good. Both blacks and whites very nice. Good work

    I had a feeling he was chasing a girl! Love this new pose I've never seen and your low angle and excellent exposure make this a top notch image, Karl. You're really knocking them out of the park this last season, Karl!
