My wild bird photography doesn't get any better than this - perfect pose, narrow DOF courtesy of the wide open Sigmonster, good sharpness, exposure, background/foreground, and a nice eye catchlight.

All these were executed under grueling conditions in the rainforest undergrowth, at a bird found only in the Philippines and whose skulking habit makes it very difficult to see, much less photograph well.
