Mousebird Spatchcock!

[Jeni Williams]

Another tongue in the cheek post from me - no way could I fit his tail in (almost full frame) but I loved the spread.
He has hanging on the bush, I was hanging over the wall! As so rightly remarked , at least my tail wasn't amputated ;):D

That is one crazy pose for that bird Jeni !!!

The slow shutter speed hurt some and the mixed lighting didn't help either !!! Not sure what lens you were using bur would have tried wide open for higher shutter speed and blurring bg as much as possible. As presented still feels makes a fine image, that bird is a star !!! Can't wait for the next one !!!!
