Hi Livio,
Another beauty! This cuckoo seems to really enjoy posing for you. : )
You are indeed the "pied piper" of Patos de Minas. : )
This one is really showing his stuff: wonderful display of feathers, impertinent pose, as alert as can be. Sharp details and gorgeous light and colors. I wish you had cloned out the wire though.
TFS the wonderful diversity of birds of Brazil. : )

Hi Livio,
This one is a beauty. The light here was soft and wonderful. Amazing color and very sharp detail. Your control on the DOF was perfect. Great OOF backround really makes him stand out well. This one rocks my friend!

Hi Livio this is my most favourite bird of yours. He always looks so quaint, with his 'mad' look in his eyes and angle of his head!
I love seeing him standing here on the fence post. colours and d etails are all perfect. Well done,

Hi Livio!

Pity that these birds don't live in my country :-) Great, 'rogue' pose, I bet these birds are real fighters. Picture is detailed and I like dark green BG also.

• windancer (597)
• [2006-02-27 9:01]

Love the chance to get a look at such a character. What colourful and interesting birds. The composition doesn't really work for me though. The blank space up at the top seems to be just empty for the point of being empty. I find myself looking away from the bird following his gaze. Nice and sharp but I don't love it because of the composition.

Hi Livio,
it's a very good picture with great details.
Pity that the tail not is in DOF.
Lovely colours and very good POV. Maybe I should have cropped it in a different way. It's a little to much space above and
in the down I should cut out the wire.
I did a ws to show.
Great work, my friend.

It's an outstanding shot!
The pose of the bird is superb and POV seems o be perfect as well. I just have feeling the framing isn't the best. It would also be great if the tail would have been in focus. The DOF is slightly too shalow but overall the picture looks great.
WELL DONE!

Livo.- Grandes detalles en esta tu foto, tiene muy buenos colores y el fondo le da un toque especial, me pregunto si esta ave esta enojada pues parece un gallo de pelea. Felicidades Luis52. Tu nota muy buena tambien.

Hi Livio
Contratulations on being featured today Feb 26, 2007. This Cuculidae is a very unique species of bird. Your notes are informative. He's beautifully capture in the soft lighting. Strong detail and nicely composed.

Great shot. Excellent details and sharply focussed. The blurred out bg looks good. The branches in the bg create a little bit of distraction, but other than that I like the picture very much.
