This is a good behavioural capture Thonnaksar showing the bowerbird collecting berries. The composition is quite pleasing but I am left feeling that I would like to be a bit closer, and for the angle of the head to be turned more towards the camera, but still a nice image!
Well done by John, especially re: the head angle. The two berries are just great. The merge with the leaves immediately behind the bird's head is problematic...
Later and love, artie

I like the pose and seeing her holding two big berries made me smile. Not much you could have done to avoid the branch behind the birds head, but I would clone the small brown stick in the upper left corner.
