Wow, Craig. Great image. Love the singing pose, details, and gorgeous background. The larger image is especially nice.:toast:

No nits from me on this one Craig. I like the attitude of the bird and nice BG. Not really possible to get much more DOF given your low SS and relatively high ISO.

Really well done Craig. Typically I'm not fond of the head-on pose but the open beak makes this work very well for me. Love it.

I like this a lot as presented. Nice composition; great singing pose. I like head-on shots.

Nice soft light. Also like the head-on view and the open beak.

Well done Craig. I just seem to see males? This female has a lot of brown and is a pretty little thing. Like the comp and another vote for the head on view in this case as well. You put some extra work into the framing here, very worthwhile, suits the subject and looks great. :toast:
