A male Chestnut-headed Blackbird singing out loud in its marshy territory.

I like the setting, soft light and calling pose. The BG complements the bird nicely.

The light and habitat are perfect. I would have put the bird a little to the left or more right to show catatil leaves leading up to the bird,however there may have been a problem with this I can not see. Some of the lower image is distracting but any crop I put in didnt really help strenghten the picture.
Overall I like this habitat shot and consider good habitat photos are sometimes tougher than full frame shots.

Excellent habitat image !!

Could just be the small size posted but some parts of the bird seem a bit dark.
Maybe try the Fill Flash slider in ACR.

Oi Octavio,
I like it, the bird stands out nicely against a beautiful background, I was going to sugest a crop from the back but i did not want to cut the catail leaf going up.

I like it a lot Octavio, the inclusion of lots of room around the bird to show the environment is the strongest point of this image. The temperature seems very warm in my monitor. Very good image
