Nothing special here, but it is I think my best image of one of these guys so far.

Hi Anita,
Nice composition and exposure. The details are nice and sharp love the artificial perch...:D The background is very pleasing...:cool:

Oh....how I wish it was mine. The exposure, details, pose and colors are all dead one. What a wonderful image.

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

Nicely exposed and very good detail. I like it.

Beautiful image. Good handling of the exposure.

Nothing special my eye. You got to see one, photograph it and now can hang it up!

[Brian Wong]

Hi Anita!

I agree with Grady! Very well done, and a very beautiful specimen! I don't see them out here!

[Anita Rakestraw]

Thanks so much for the comments, everyone, I so appreciate it! They are a very pretty bird, I agree. There are many of them in my area and they are not terribly shy.

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

Very nice image. Good and sharp. I love those Scissortails.
