Lovely bird, pose, perch and BG, Simon. Being a fan of tighter crops, I would take a smidge off the top and right but lovely as presented

[Arthur Morris]

Wow! Everything to love about this one. Incredible BKGR--what was it? (Looks like a gray card.) Love the raised foot not to mention a killer bird.

[Simon Bennett]

Artie asked Incredible BKGR--what was it? The bird was photographed on a open grey/blackish-trunked eucalypt flat also on grey soil and it blurred with this result.

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks Simon. You should bottle it and sell it!

A species I'm not familiar with. This is perfect. Publish? Great work.

Very well exposed, and amazing colours captured in this. Well done Simon.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, pose and BG. I might lighten the parts of the plumage that are not sunlit a bit.

I love this shot, but to be honest, I loved.. just loved the perch! Congratulations!
