    I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    1/250 F/5.6 Matrix Metering EV +1 ISO 900 WB set by eye to warm the image slightly because of dark overcast morning, camera supported by a monopod
    Post processed in Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC 2019 and Neat Image for noise reduction
    Cropped for composition and presentation

    Love the overall composition, setting, calling pose, BG, EXP (for blacks and the epaulet) and details (esp. the eye). TFS

    Hi Joe,
    I like the bird and the BG and the perch.
    Just wish that front branch was not there. Its larger size pulls the eye away from the RWB,

    I like the background. I wish the perch was better.

    Like the calling bird pose and the open bill. You can selectively sharpen the head a touch more.

    Prefer the horizontal over the vertical. The calling pose is nice.
