Slippery Slope

[Lance Peters]

Another of my New Holland Honey Eater friend.

Wish I didn't have to include so much of the OOF area of the perch - but was reluctant to cut the tail off on the lower LHS.

Cropped and sharpened.
Comments welcome and appreciated.

P.S. working from backup computer while I install water cooling in my main rig - hoping colour and everything is OK.

I like the comp as presented, don't mind the OOF perch at all. Colors look great on my monitor.

Hi Rob - BG is flowers reflected in the water on the opposite bank lit by the late afternoon light.

Really nice Lance. The BG is beautiful, and so sharp for 1/80th???

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Well done Lance! Lovely pose and BG is really smooth and nice. :)

Beautiful little guy! Love the touch of yellow. Like the inclusion of the tail. You got so many great colorful birds Downunder, mate!

I really liked this image Lance, especially the bird's toes … looks like he's doing a little tap dance.

What a great looking bird and BG. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could see the whole tail.
