Nice one Harvey. Perfect exposure with good feather detail. Well done.

Harvey,

Very nice shot. I like the rock perch, the green background, and the open beak.

The white rock and green BG contrasts nicely with the gray of the bird you did well to get the exposure right. Well done.

Harvey, this is excellent. It's difficult to get these guys out of the foliage and twigs.

Very nice! The open bill really adds to the image. The white rock is really dominate. If it could be toned down a bit it would direct more attention to the bird. Cropping most of the rock could do the same.

Now you really went and outdid yourself with this one. Just awesome. I can't think of a better set of colors and pose than you got with this.
