I was recently in Queensland visiting my parents so I visited one of my favourite places up there, Mary Cairncross Reserve. It's a sub tropical rainforest. I was walking along the track when I heard these birds calling. I usually see them scratching in amongst leaves and vines. One of them hopped up onto a log in front of me and I was lucky to get a few photos before it flew away. This is full frame and I cloned a couple of small white blotches in the background.
Fantastic little birds these, probably my favorite of a trip nth New South Wales I made recently. You've done much better then I managed to! Good compo. and you've done well not to completely burn the highlights with the flash. Neck could maybe be masked and darkened a bit though and you might be able to reduce the flash shadow with some dodging in PS.....
