This roller was scanning the ground for prey and seemed to be totally unconcerned about our presence.
Hi Jon, great to have them in some clear BKG so they have prominence and standout. Colours look good, but for me it's a tad over sharp, highlighted on the finer feathers. OK this is 'perceptual' sharpening and taste compared to, is the RAW sharp, but just my take. Might have been better with the 5D, or even, what's coming...
Coming in a bit late on this... these are great birds, Jon, and this is an nice image, with the simple content and the bird's concentration on its next meal. Who couldn't love those colours. Only thing that struck me about this is that it looks a little washed out.
