    Love the calling pose, nice background. Did your clone something out of the background on the left side of the birds head?

    Nothing cloned out close to the head. Only one reed on the right side of the photo.

    Excellent singing pose. Love the color of the open beak, set off nicely against the green BG. Only wish for a bit more sharp detail.

    Hi Tomasz, love the singing pose and simple composition and nice clean background. I agrees with Bill that the image could be sharper, maybe 640 for a shutter speed was too slow. In my experience when a bird is singing they are always moving. Thank you for sharing.

    The face/head/throat look tack sharp to me. 1/640s. is enough, but sometimes the lower mandible may get blurred by movement at that SS. I love the light, vertical comp, rich colours.

    Thank you all. The not so sharp belly could also be because of DOF as he was stretching his head forward. His head and whole throat is tack sharp. But it could also be result of singing :).
