beautiful colors,bg,pose!

Very cool perch and BG. Nice soft light. I wish for more of a profile view of the head and perhaps a slightly tighter crop.

Hello Mital,

I like this series with the nice bird, colors, perch and BG. I am sure you will be back there making more images. I am on the same page with Doug for having more profile view. Well done.

[Aidan Briggs]

Lovely soft light, BG, and exposure. Ditto Doug on the HA. I could see this as a vertical crop as well.

Nice capture!

Not to determine as a female though, for both male and female are monomorph.
(male and female look alike so to speak)

This particular bird is a juvenile, but still a little beauty nevertheless! ;)

Cheers.
