nothing left to say. just way to perfect image what i have thought of while taking but i know would not be succeeded with such clarity in INDIA.

Great portrait Dumay! This Darter has a reptilian eye. I like the details, sharpness and BG.

[Nico Steenberg]

The feather details are astonishing !!!

[Mike Tracy]

I really like the pose and the light accentuates his feather detail. The eye is mesmerizing. Since the background appears to be pretty uniform and uncluttered I think you could have stopped down to have the end part of his bill sharper.

Dumay"

Excellent image quality, lighting and comp.
My first thought was I wished I could see a bit more of the neck below, but I think it works very well as is.

Very fine.
