Blue-faced Honeyeater , Narrowneck, Gold Coast, Queensland.
While I was photographing the blue wrens this honeyeater appeared on a tall branch nearby.
The blue sky background with the bird was to hard to let pass. So I repositioned the tripod with the sun behind and used a high aperture to get the whole bird in focus.
In the past my shots of this species have had distracting backgrounds of branches, twigs and leaves that have been so close, a narrow aperture could not save the day!
