    Truly stunning Dumay. This pose, the light, the sharpness. I love the slight motion blur on the bill which really gives a sense of the calling.

    Stunning light and complimentary BG Dumay! The open beak makes this shot! Got an image of this bird and struggled with the ID, so thanks for that!

    Hey mate, good clean open shot of this guy, and well timed to capture the singing pose with the open beak. Sharp, and good DOF too. Plenty at Rietvlei, and you can litterally drive close to them. But you knew that.

    Love it. The BG is wonderful and the feathers are beautifully exposed. Sweet light. I would also like to see this as a vertical,

    Great calling pose and I like the way he is perched too. That light has a beautiful glow to it.
