    Photographed on a foggy morning last week at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, MA.

    RAW file was quite hazy. Tried to cut the haze using the Blacks slider in ACR, black point adjustment in Levels, and adding black to neutrals and blacks in Selective Color.

    Looking forward to your comments and critiques!

    I like the singing pose, composition and eye contact. Maybe a bit more contrast?

    Aside from possibly a bit of motion blur to the lower mandible this is pretty much perfect: sweet high key, killer singing pose, EXP perfect with detail throughout the entire bird.

    Nice singing pose and excellent comp. I would selectively darken the pupil a bit as it still seems a wee bit hazy.

    Great one, nothing much to add to above comments.
    I like the high key feel here very much.
