    I like the calling pose, details and BG and would give it more room top and bottom. Did you lighten the eye? It looks a bit 'milky' on my monitor. A better light angle would have put this over the top for me.

    Love the singing pose of this shy bird.
    only wish for a better perch.

    Beautiful calling pose. I'd give it some punch with curves and agree there's something funky going on in the eye.

    Super pose, and the colours look good. This is sharp, and the perch looks fine to me. What a killer BG.

    Manos, the bird has the nictitating membrane closed.
    Fill flash would've helped this image, wonderfull sepcies, colores, BG, perch and colors though.

    Here's an image that shows clearly what the nictitating membrane is, in this case, the Turkey is using it to pretect his eye while he eats. Hope it helps to show more clearly why the eye of Manos' Roller looks thta way. :)
