This image created in early morning light on cloudless day. I love these beauties when they are in transition from the immature pale brown phase to the myriad of adult colors(blue, gree,purple,etc.).1DMKIIN 400DO 1.4xtc ISO 640 F8@1/2500
I love the crop and the COMP. Not too sure about the vegetation... Sharp. The frontal shield looks like polished lead. Very cool.

Ditto the vegetation. It's not the fact that there is some, but rather what it looks like. All else looks great, excellent exposure and sharpness...and yes the colour transition is cool :-)
