I've never seen this particular KF before - a real beauty, Paul! A head turn just a little more to the left to accomplish eye contact would have been a bonus but they do not always offer us that! Nice one!

Thanks Tobie...I really appreciate the feedback. Cheers!

Hi Paul, that's a nice capture of a very beautiful bird. I don't mind that the bird's body is facing away as it shows off the superb colours on the wings. And the head is turned a fair way towards you, if not to the point of making direct eye contact. Compositionally this one could have had quite a problem with the tree limbs and trunk in the background, but the various elements are positioned to neatly frame the bird while still giving strong indications of a riverbank environment - so I think it works. I like the fact that virtually all of the bird is in good focus, which along with the vivid colours makes it 'pop' from the background elements. Keep up with those early starts!
Cheers, David

Yes to great bird, sharp, too dark, too cluttered, and the subject orientation (to the plane of the sensor) does bother me :)
with love, artie
