I took a drive through the nature reserve close to my house last weekend, and although not too busy with subjects, I did manage this weaver having a full go. This location always produces great BG's. Taken early morning from my car.

Excellent pose and sharp details, Stu. Love the clean bg and the balanced perch. I'd crop a bit from the left and add a bit to the right, but comp is such a subjective thing.
Stuart the BG complements the bird beautifully, when it comes to composition recon I'm the worlds worst but I might take a tad off the left, the relaxed pose with those fluffed out feathers really makes it for me.
I just love that yellow gold SA background.
I like the way the plant sits in the frame and where you have placed the bird.
IQ and light are topnotch and the singing pose adds a lot,

Stunningly beautiful background and light, Stuart. The singing pose is cute as is the way she's holding onto the perch for dear life. Thanks for posting this beauty.
