Mike, this is really good. awesome pose and perfect composition. good black details as well. nice clean BG.

Awesome singing pose with a great display of color. The blacks look great. I might add a bit of canvas on the right, and I'd try desaturating the reds/oranges a couple of clicks to see if it enhances color detail.

mike, this is a killer image!! singing and a wing pose. how much did you pay this guy!!?:D agree on desat of the reds. nice job!!!

[Steve Maxson]

Very cool, Mike. Looks like you caught him at the peak of his display. Good sharpness, nice detail in the blacks, and a great background. Well done.

One of the nicest RWBBs I've seen lately, love the wings, clean BG, catch light and of course, the singing. This would have been a good candidate for video if you had upgraded :)

Awesome pose and BG here, Mike. The outstretched wings and open beak really make this on special. I do think you could bring out a bit more details in the red and yellow, although the blacks looks great.

Someone needs to tell this guy he needs a pedicure.

Fantastic pose and details Mike. Very well done.

Very hard to get details on the dark tone in these birds. Beautiful details in the blacks. This is an excellent shot.
