Hopefully you won't mind another White Bearded from the lek in Trinidad. He was a regular visitor to this branch and was always detectable via the familiar snapping that manakins do with their wings when trying to attract a female.

On this one I get the impression that critical focus is around the feet and not the face.

I do like the position and inquisitive look of the bird.

Jean,

This is a very nice shot. If I was going to do anything different, it might be to include just a bit more room around the bird.
