Bonne journée.

Hi Anton,

You did very well again. I like this bird! I prefere this photo instead of the other one because of its composition. Very original position from the bird! TFS,

This is a great capture showing the main attributes such as the long claw and the orange breast of the bird that is associated with both venacular names. Very nice DOF isolates the main subject from the background. :)

I like the pose more than the one you posted previously, but I also think you did much better postprocessing this one. Now I dont see any nits, and I like to find them :)
Very pretty shot, Very good details too although it is a bit small for me, as I work in 1280x1024.
Well done on the unusual framing too, I apreciate it.
Regards, Felipe.

PD: I have seen the size of the photo is 140 Kb. Try to use "save to web" command when saving the photo, and adjust the jpg compression just below 200Kb. This way you avoid colour compression problems like the noise on your Orange-throated Longclaw grey BG. Your image will be optimized to the exact size and with colours used by browsers like IE or NN.

compositioìn is very good, but DOF is unnatural. it seems paint. perhaps I'm wrong, but, to me, this is my first impression.

Hello Anton,
Hehehehe, funny pose... Did you call him?
The position gives a fine view of the back of the bird, impressive details in the feather coat!
Great clarity in colours in this well composed image...
Greetings,

Hi Anton,
Beautiful contrast between the soft colours of the whole photo and frame and the strong orange of the bird's troat. Good details and pose of the bird.
Well done and TFS
