I love the color palette and the light in this image.
The perfect HA and slightly open beak make a lovely image even better.
I like how the lichens match the color of the BG. and the clear toenail on the rock.
The whites and IQ are terrific as well.
Well done,
Gail

had to repost,left a touch of artifacts,above beak.sorry.:w3

Striking image, Chris, Great light, pose and wonderful background. It is a very pleasing image.

What a striking image, Christopher, and the RP clears up the only slight issue I can see. The pose, details and colors are simply terrific. The lichen on the rock matches the bird and BG.

Nice image , the colours are fantastic and the bird is so nicely in focus and calling which is big plus
i love it, interesting no one picked up the thing you corrected in the repost :S3:
Its one stunning image for the IQ it has

Excellent Pose and light.

Fantastic all the way around...great pose with the open beak, lovely light, great perch and bg. What I like most is that the angle of the light gave you such fine details in the feathers. 100% love this one, Chris.

Kudos from me as well, Chris.
The light and angle couldn't be better.

Hi Chris, exquisite light, and I do like the pose. You have brought out the finer detail nicely, sharp, and the colour of the BG is superb.

Really nice job on the coloring and details! What is the backgound to make such a nice orangy color?
