Everything is perfect in this image. Calling pose is a big plus.

Truly stunning Dumay. This pose, the light, the sharpness. I love the slight motion blur on the bill which really gives a sense of the calling.

[Mark Itol]

Amazing clarity, Dumay. Love that open beak, too!

Hey mate, good clean open shot of this guy, and well timed to capture the singing pose with the open beak. Sharp, and good DOF too. Plenty at Rietvlei, and you can litterally drive close to them. But you knew that. :w3

All round a super image Dumay... Like the colour balance and detail on the bird.

Love it. The BG is wonderful and the feathers are beautifully exposed. Sweet light. I would also like to see this as a vertical,
