What a view! I never knew Canada's had such large tongues. A little more DOF would have been nice.

Agree on the DOF, but I love the attitude this bird has with this indignant expression.

Captions anyone?

Funny shot and nice background - needs a bit more DOF. Next time suggest bumping the ISO to get a smaller aperture.

Very funny shot! More DOF would have put this over the top.

now is that anyway to say good morning? It looks like in addition to have comblike structures on their bills there is also some of this on the tongue? This is really cool!

Great expression. A little more DOF would have enhanced the image.

A fantastic closeup head shot, Gang!
More dof would bring both the beak and eye into focus ...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments/critiques.

I should use a smaller aperture.

I agree on the DOF suggestion. I think f/7.1 or f/8 at ISO 400 would have given you DOF through to the back of the head without a loss of shutter speed and while keeping the nice BG.

Very cute shot BTW. Great detail.
