Tricolor With Mating Colors

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken a few weeks ago when they were nest building. They are such beautiful birds at this time of year.

Love those lores and the topside view of the mating plumage! I also like the treetops. Wish for a little more of a head turn towards us.

Beautiful plumage and good details. I would have preferred the bird flying more toward you.

Hi Judy!

Beautiful flight image, and the pretty blue with the yellow makes it for me. Good details, but somehow the contrast against the sky looks a little "cut - out" on my screen. As mentioned, slightly away.

Comp works well with him flying over the tree tops. I like the mating colours, and just enough angle to show the feather detail from the top. Well captured Judy.

[Lance Peters]

like the composition and the details and colours are really great. IMHO - a few seconds too late as he looks like he has flown past you already.

I like the colours and the environment captured. Ditto comments on angle of flight.
