Hi Stuart,
Striking image, well done! Im not familiar with this species and see blue s throughout the wings, so I am asking if that is the true colors? Also, there is a white diagonal slender line on top of wing and was wondering about that... I very much like your composition and the leaves and flower are beautiful. I was curious about your iso and ss for this multi flash set up. a personal preference would be to have your signature at the bottom. any eye work? TFS

Stuart:

Lovely bird, nice comp. Good questions from Ann.

The flash is a bit obvious in places, would consider toning done some of the highlights and shadows on leaves and flowers. The fill on the bird is much less obvious, which is a good thing.

Cheers

Randy

Nice shot but I think here is a colour cast, perhaps a little more in this direction WDYT?
(Going back to the raw would yield better results)

I think Jonathans RP has taken it in a great direction. Toning down or just cloning out those highlights would make a big difference. Great pose and BG as is. TFS
