Colin:

Really like the detail shown. Esp. the reflection in the eye. You can see a tree in it!

The tail feathers spreading around the perch is an interesting detail as well.

The perch acts as a framing element here.

Cheers

Nice pose and detail on another new bird to me.

A new bird to me also. Nice detail, colors look good, interesting background. I guess I wish there was more depth of field so the tail would be in focus. Thank you for sharing, Colin.

Dynamic image, bird ready to go fig hunting. Nice one

Pretty neat perch and pose combo. Interesting marbled BG. I could see a version with more room at right. Details are good on the subject, but look odd on the oof part of the tail - perhaps caused by some extra sharpening there.

[Colin Driscoll]

Thanks for the comments. Daniel, no extra sharpening, I think that tail blurring is movement. The bird was not posing, I managed to capture that pose out of a lot of movement.

No nitpics from me Colin...very nice details, clarity and feather detail.
