Great BG, great perch, great techs. I like the comp & the singing pose. TFS.

This is beautiful. A little more room at the top otherwise an oustanding image all around.

This is really good, perfect Im OK with the crop, would work as vertical too

[Bill Dix]

Nice light, great pose and setup. Wish for more room at top, or vertical.

[Grace Scalzo]

That background sure is bright, but it works well for this species. I keep wanting to see a vertical composition as well. (I've looked at this a few times today). Quite an interesting image, Joe.

[Rachel Hollander]

Joe - nice detail and pose. I agree about a vertical crop but only if you can keep in the front flower.

TFS,
Rachel

[Ofer Levy]

Very nice! Agree regarding a vertial presentation.

[dankearl]

This is really nice Joe, very well exposed, and a great perch. Sharp as can be, very well done. The crop is fine with me.

[gail bisson]

WOW! You nailed this one Joe! I love the flowers in front of the bird and the open beak. I like this composition a lot and it would look nice as a vertical as well.
Great BG that adds a nice bit of color to a rather monochromatic bird.
No nits from me!

The flower heads are a nice inclusion in this stunner, I think it works well as is, but equally I think a vertical comp would work well also...quite similar to our Restless Flycatcher over here

[christopher galeski]

very nice,agree on vertical crop and more room at the top,like the BG,pose,and the flowers.

[rajojomanik]

Yes the flowers does it for me with great perch, background and excelletn IQ.

[Frank Schauf]

[Kiran Poonacha]
