    The great Kiskadee

    Dear fellows, I gathered these Kiskadee images and just processed them this morning. This bird has a very beautiful (and loud) call. It is a brave bird, sometimes even attacking small hawks that try to mess with them (in these situations they usually attack in couple).

    I hope you like it. C&C welcomed and thanks for viewing!

    Hi Otavio,
    As I scrolled up and saw 5, it had a nice sense of 3D about it.
    How about ending the frame of the picture at the level of the wall (rotate so it is level).
    Keep the shadow and the wing outside the image frame.

    Nice set overall.

    Pity about that black 'smudge' beneath the tail in #1.

    #4 is particularly good.

    Thanks Graham. And I will consider the suggestion regarding number five. Cheers.

    Lovely bird, nice images. I would love to see it in a natural environment, bush, tree etc. but nature photography does not always cooperate.

    Thanks, Geoff, for viewing. Really a pity. I think it was a frigate bird passing by. Regards...

    Thanks, Joe. You are right, a natural environment would work much better.

    Otavio​​,
    Beautiful photos of my favorite bird! The picture #4 is special. I can almost hear it singing "bem-te-vi!" (which is its name in Portuguese).
    Although not so sharp as #4 (it's hard to take this kind of photo), the shape of the wings and the position of feathers is very well shown in photo # 5.
    Congratulations
    Antonio.
