Strange looking Bird

[Lance Peters]

Was hidden down by the river the other night hoping for some bird action --- lovely late afternoon golden light -- when this guy decided to have a drink - nearly stood on top of me.

Full frame - straight out of the camera -- golden colours due to the light.

awesome light, lance! too bad it was so close you couldnt include all of the ear. and i think it would be even better with a slight sharpening.

that's my kind of bird shooting!!

[Lance Peters]

Some sharpening for MR H - sorry cant do anything bout his ear - think his freind may have it though...

[Lance Peters]

Yep his friend has it....

[Harold Davis]

What's with the Aussie wildlife - only b&w birds and orange sheep????? :-)

Like the second post, orange is a bit calmer.

Cheers
