Hi John,
Nice light - fits the theme well. Great calling pose - nicely captured. Exposure overall looks good to me even though some of the black below the bird's head seems to lack detail. Nice background.
Really nice frame.

Nice two tone background.

Sweet perch and nice pose with open bill

Thanks for sharing.

Hi John, perfect light for the month's theme, and you have managed a great calling/singing pose. Overall well exposed on the darks, although there seems to be a small blocked area on the neck. Gotta love that BG.

Very nice singing pose. You might try adding 65 points of CYAN to the REDs in Selective Color ...

with love, artie

Beautiful singing pose! Perch and softly graded background are very nice. A very good submission for the theme!

Thats a solid RWBB frame. They are everywhere but getting everything lined up perfectly isn't as easy as it might seem, so well done on this one!
