As close to 3D as can be gotten with 2D. I genuinely like this portrait of the Varied. Well done.

My property was full of these beauties when I was in Oregon - I sure miss them! Haven't seen ONE here in CA yet, although I'm told they do show up.
Nice pose, perfect use of flash (not evident at all) and natural setting.
Well-done!

Difficult conditions but much better results than I'd expect here. Even when one shows up here in sunny AZ they hang out in the darkest places.

It's a shade-loving species in its breeding range in Alaska, too. Nice perch, nice pose and nice photo. My only suggestion would be to clone out the one of the highlights in the bird's eye, an obvious flash artifact.

Nicely done image of this thrush. I love the mossy forest environment. Nice use of flash.
