Hi Ken, What an interesting bird. I love the variation of colors and the bill is stunning. Good sharpness/details. If you have a bit more room at the bottom I would suggest adding some back as the tip of the tail feathers are a little tight for my taste. The warm light lovely but is causing some clipping of the red channel. If this were mine I would try a toning down the reds just a bit. Nice background and I love the branch the bird is perched on. Do you have any of this species with the tail fanned?
Yes, the red channel looks a bit hot and I would also crop some off the perch on the right side, as much as you can afford, I'm confused where the tail ends and the shadow begins :confused:
Nice looking bird!
Phil,
I have never been able to get images of this bird before they are usually endlessly flitting about in a haphazard fashion. The only images I have showing the tail are pretty hopeless.
Fabs,
I see what you mean about the tail, it seems to be blending into the tree.
