Great capture Bill. To bad it would not give you a clear tail pose. Bob

Fine image Bill !!! Love this bird !!! Looks so pretty I might consider doing some drastic branch removal for a clean image. Wouldn't be all good for contests, posting etc. but just for pure viewing enjoyment !!!!
Love the pose and feel !!! Excellent !!!!

Thanks, I walked all the way around from the back lit to the front lit and this is the best I could do. They have a mind of their own about the tail. Rather than mess it up I just left in a natural as found state referring to the limbs..

Good job in recognizing the light and walking around for better angle. Looking quite dove-like, doesn't it?? :-)

This is very special Bill. Harsh light but lovely!

I like the pose and exposure control. Too bad about the angle and not so great perch.
