This little male(in breeding plumage) was trying his very hardest to attract the resident "ladies".

I like everything about this one Chris. Good call on DoF - I like that the whole main perch is in focus. Great exposure, detail, sharpness and a lovely smooth BG.

Marvelous image with lovely lights and BG. Loved the open beak and expression of bird .

Wonderful image. I really like the open beak. It tells a story. I might try to clean out the little bit of white poop that is on the perch.

Great image Chris! I like the calling pose, perch, sharpness and composition.

Lovely light and moody BG sky. Good DOF and I like the composition very much. Agree with Cynthia on cleaning up the bird poo on leaf,
