Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneus) Willie Retreat NSW
Canon EOS 40D Lens 100-400mm L IS USM at 390 mm ISO 400 F7.1 1/1250sec no flash 12 May 2010
While trying to take some images of a male White-winged Fairy-wren this male Superb Fairy-wren strutted his stuff just near my hide at Willie Retreat which is midway along the western side of The Macquarie Marshes in northern New South Wales Australia.
Thank you for viewing,
Best regards

Nice active pose captured on a suitably delicate perch.
Cropping choices seem to be a matter of personal preference and presumably this is cropped from a horizontal frame so you have probably already explored other options.
These birds are so cool. Excellent pose and tiny perch showing how little the bird is.
Good exposure in bright light, but I wonder if you might darken the blues a bit by adding a little black in Selective Correction in PS.
