    Love the perch and cool looking bird. Good job handling the whites on a tough exposure. I wish there was a little more catch light in the eye. TFS.

    Neil, I really like this one. Excellent subject placement, exposure, sharpness, BG. Calling pose with good head position....very well done.

    Particularly nice is the over the shoulder look so we can see his beautiful back. You've created a complete and pleasing image.

    Good look back pose, and well done on getting the open beak. Good job with the exposure on the blacks, and I like the overall detail and sharpness.

    Great singing pose, nice perch and background. These are tough birds to expose properly and it looks like you've done it nicely.

    Nice look back pose and good to see the inclusion of habitat as well as full bird.

    Nicely done on exposure.
