Very pleasing singing pose. Excellent detail although the tail is a little soft. I really like the pose add the bird has an altitude. Good work.

Hi Sandy, nice pose with the open beak - definitely shows the attitude of this species. Sharpness looks good. I could see trying a version darkening the bird and background.

Thanks, @Allen_Sparks and @David_Schoen -
darkened and re-posted

Nice pose and perch, Sandy. I don’t know if you did anything to the background, but the area around the beak and between the mandibles looks a little odd to my eye.

Sandy:
That looks like it did the trick for me. It looks a lot sharper and a lot cleaner.

Thanks, Dennis - blip fixed

Hi Sandy
The repost looks much better. Nice work.
Peter

Very nice job on the repost, Sandy.
