Nikon D3s 600VR taken at 840mm. 1/3200-f5.6, auto ISO 1250.

Vivaldo:

Neat calling pose, tongue, angle in frame.

Interesting BG. Generally would prefer a more uniform color, but suspect you couldn't grow a few feet suddenly to throw the bird completely against the brown

I could see this cropped to a wide vertical.


Cheers

Vivaldo, great pose and light and I especially like the BG - those soft stripes of colour are beautiful!

[Pieter de Waal]

Hi Vivaldo, great calling pose and eye contact. Like the light and wonderful natural colours against that background. TFS.

Hey Vivaldo, nice to see the tongue, and you certainly nailed the colours on the BE. Killer BG, and another vote for removing the lower catchlight.

Beautiful bird and great background.

Thanks guys for suggestions and comments:) I reposted vetical crop suggested by Randy and also removed reflection from the bottom.

vivaldo, I prefer the OP crop. BG is too good to crop away, I feel. Great light, calling pose and colors. Sharp too. I also think u should remove the bottom catchlight.
