Rose-breasted Grosbeak

[Glenn Bartley]

Another from this past spring down at Long Point. I had a hard time getting these guys to land on a decent perch. But I managed a few keepers over the course of the week I was down there.

I like the exposure control, details and BG and might remove the second catchlight and maybe that spider web.

Excellent exposure control Glenn on this difficult B&W plumage!

[Bill Sharkey]

Great shot Glenn, might apply a bit more NR to the BG, otherwise, very nice image :)

Outstanding Glen! I like the perch detail as-is and the colours are marvelous. As North Americans we should all remember this species when we see these terrifically exotic species from Africa and Australia for example. It's certainly up there with the best of 'em.

[Ramon M. Casares]

GREAT ONE! No nits except for the fact that one of the legs is not visible, other than that, OUTSTANDING! Congratulaitons!

[Juan Aragonés]

Another fantastic image Glenn. Love the eye, perch and BG.

Love the headturn. Nice image indeed.
