This is an image from our recent photo-safari to the Kruger National Park. The garden of the guesthouse is alive with birds, offering great opportunities for practising fill flash techniques.
I saw many of these birds and photographed them too during my time in South Africa. I think this is a very pretty presentation of the bird. Nice light, detail and sharpness. I agree with Ramon; stunning as usual.
Chris, just come back from the KNP for a three day weekend. Saw lots of these guys. I like the warm light and colours in this. Sharp with good detail, and like the slight tilt of the head. Comp works well too.
