Regal pose by this bird, nice light, great exp. and sharpness. I love the muted sky and that reddish-orange Australian dirt.

Hey Graeme,
Perch really adds to the overall image. Light angle is slightly off......but not enough to take away from this excellent image!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent photo. I don't mind the off-angle light here. I'm not a fan of the shaded rock at left edge, but all else is top notch.

what a shot....the red rocks in golden light make big impact. Loved the placement of the bird, low shooting angle and the light. Details look great. You've processed it well.
