Really like the pose Lance ... bird seems to have an attitude !!!!

[Harold Davis]

fantastic pose, lance! he does seem to have an attitude. as to say hey, why not the sigmonster!!:D

love those blue tones in the cheek feathers. would a splash of flash help any at all?

[Lance Peters]

Hey Mr H - sigmonster was a bit to heavy for this trip - thought about flash but with him being so close didn;t want to blind him -- LOL :)

[Gus Cobos]

Mr. Peters,
You sure know how to find these little guys, and with an attitude on top of that...well done Sir...beautiful image...:cool:

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Love the intense look on this guy. Excellent angle of capture.

Lance, This is as cute as it gets!! The pose and look are just great. I love it!

[Jeff Cashdollar]

Lance,

I like this photo. Often head-on shots can create a look of anger or show the bird in an unattractive manner. You demonstrates its beauty, nice work.

Good one, Lance; I like the detail and the beautiful blue color.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Hey Lance, wonderful attitude with this little fellow!

If I am correct, it's a Superb Fairy-wren male eclipse?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nice bird Lance, love the colours. And he does look pretty puffed up with self-importance.
