    Default Whip-poor-will

    A singing Whip-poor-will from my recent Arizona Nightbirds Workshop. Slight sharpening of the face, otherwise a straight conversion.

    Love the alert pose. The bird is a bit too centered for my taste; I'd crop a bit off the right. I might also have eased up on the flash just a little. Overall very nice though.

    Great find, I've never seen one in bright daylight. Another vote for putting the bird further to the right in the frame.
