Little Wattlebird

[Greg Oakley]

Another image from my session with the wattlebirds last week. This is a juvenile bird. Setup and some playback used.
Thanks for looking, Greg.

D800, 300 2.8 + 1.7TC (510mm), f8/ 1/250, ISO400, -1/3EV, FIll flash.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent details, love the perch, great pose, very nice background, and nice light.

[Jonathan Ashton]

This is really elegant, fine details and colour.

[Bill Dix]

This is quite extraordinary. Wonderful perch, pose, details, bg. If there were such a thing as 'too good', this would be it.

[Randall Farhy]

Agree, this is stunning. perfectly balanced exposure and comp, this one borders on a painting/illustration look, which has a strong appeal. Bill's "too good" comment about sums it up.

Top shot Greg
The flowers compliment the bird really well and the BG is super.

[Raybel Robles]

Beautiful image with full of rich colors. Great position by the bird and background with everything on perfect focus! Amazing work man!

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Remarkable image, Greg. Perfect use of flash fill. Wonderful detail, BG, and perch. Added plus seeing birds tongue extended at tip of its beak.

Hi Greg, brilliant IQ, and just love the light in this, and with the use of fill flash. Great seeing the hint of tongue, and nicely framed between the foliage needles. The wattlebird is tack sharp.

Congrats are in order for taking both the test series and T20 ( which was a bit of hit and giggle )

As Gail put it not to long ago; you are the Alan Murphy of Australia and she has not seen this image yet.
Great image in all aspects, Greg.
