What a beauty and very nicely captured in his environment, John. Great sharpness and like the detail holding up in the blacks. What a wonderful habitat image.

Thanks Geoff. Its the type of shot I go for but doesn't always work. When people do enjoy them it makes it all worth while.
Cheers

Beautiful bird! Nice splash of colour in an apparently drab background. I find the bird too far to the right - maybe add a tiny bit of bg on the right or chop a little from the left (or both?) Ihtisham

Beautiful bird, nicely shown in it's environment. Love the colors of the bird. Thank you for sharing, John.
