Another beautiful shot.
I like the bit of green at the top of the frame that ties in well to the green nettles below.
Very nice diagonal line created by the nettles on the bottom of the frame. Excellent IQ and detail

Great shot, Greg. Love the multi coloured background and the bird looks great.
superb image of a beautiful bird! lovely comp & details.
Am amazed at the colors of the birds in your dry arid zones.
Only a better head angle could have made this a better image (IMO). Fantastic setting with that vegetation at bottom, and the vertical comp works very well.
Magnificent image of chat.Seeing for the first time.Beautiful tiny bird.Very nice curved perch and vegetation.
Very nice composition.
Love the pose,pleasant yellow color and superb backdrop.

This is what came to my mind after viewing this image: "well-proportioned and therefore beautiful". Here proportion is accompanied by the pleasantness of colour, and especially the greens and the yellows. The light is also beautiful, the subject is sharp and a perfect pose. Great detail and IQ.
Kind regards,
Wonderful shot.
I really like the perch and the interesting vegetation at the bottom.
Great background and comp.
Well done.
I chased this species for 5 long days last year and the closest I got was about 100 feet , how did you get so close ? Unusual composition for this species but it looks very nice especially with the smooth complimentary backdrop, I've only ever seen them aroung low samphite and saltbush regions.
Nice and sharp abnd the eye looks great, grea tone for the collection
Thanks Phil - they are quite nervy!
I actually went to the treatment ponds the afternoon before and couldn't get close.
So the next morning I found a road out the back of the ponds (near to where they were).
Luckily I found a small flock, draped the bag hide over me, and crept very slowly towards them.
I ended up getting to within about 15m and managed a few frames of a couple of birds before they scarpered!
Cheers Greg
Excellent details, love the perch, great pose, very nice background, and nice light.
