    She decided to cross this dirt road only a few meters from us. I took some shots kneeling down
    to get as low as I could.
    Thanks for looking.

    Beautifully sharp detail and a nice walking pose. The high key background allows us to focus all of our attention on the wonderful colors of her plumage. Nicely seen and captured.

    Bill took the words right out of my mouth.
    Like the clear view of the feet and that excellent HA and DOF,

    Hi Karl, excellent low angle here, and love the slightly raised foot showing movement. I do like how the colours stand out against the lighter surroundings.

    Glad you have several great images of this beautiful bird. Not that you posted for comparison, but my pref is the earlier post with the red leaf in the background. Your detail in this image is just fantastic.

    Hello Karl!

    Superb POV and pose from the bird, nice DOF and I love the colours.

    Beautiful detail in those lovely feathers. A well composed image and that white BG makes it quite striking - well seen and captured, thank you so much for sharing

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
