    Set up in my yard. I have many images of this species but this is the only time I have seen one stick his tongue out!

    superb Capture. Love the bird itself and te tongue is an added bonus. The light , exposure is dead on. I Like the BG its perfect.

    Like the polypore and Lichen on the perch they add a lot to the image and its colors. I really like the overall look and feel of the image...seems like you have perfected your backyard setup...well done!

    I am not too crazy about the broken OOF part of the perch. Just wished the perch (or at least part of it were in focus, a tad more depth may be?) I would crop out the green stub and barkless part of the perch at the lower end.

    Nice exposure and perfect capture. May slightly darken the top of the BG but works as presented. Nice one!

    Very nice Joel!
    The tongue and perch are really nice.
    I think it would look nice toned down a bit.

    I like the pose and perch. I wish the whole of the perch was in focus as it gets soft on the branch to the right. You subject is sharp and I like the little tongue ticking out.
