Hi John, a nice shot with the calling pose, nice perch and good back ground.

Nice typical RWBB singing pose. I like the vertical comp, and the beautiful BG. I do find the blacks rather dark, and blocked in spots (neck and wings) - I'm sure there is some detail to be found in there during raw conversion.

Hi John. Excellent closeup, with impressive detail in the body/wing areas. I see some colour noise in the tail feathers LHS.
