Male Calliope displays his gorget

Male Calliope, posed for the camera giving me the full benefit of

his bright goret that reflects off his beak

An excellent capture with nice focus / sharpness and good background. 

This is an exquisite presentation...... beautiful DoF, colour and lighting. Super pose.

I might have just tried a slight tweak of "sharpness" to excentuate the tummy plumage.... purely a personal preference though.

A great capture, nevertheless.

Well done.........

Regards

Very nice. An impressive image both for the technical aspects and artistic ones. Good work.

Hi Walter,

Just wanted to add my compliments to your beautiful work on this one!  What makes the image so special for me is the complementary aspect of the glows in the background to the feathers on the upper chest.  Just exquisite.  And you froze this guy really well to boot!  Congratulations!
