Jewels: the Ruby and the Emerald

A ruby-red eye set against a gorgeous emerald green background in the golden light of the late afternoon.

Very nice light, exposure, sharpness, eye contact, background. I just wish that some more light had fallen on the birds other wing.

Doug, superb stuff. Loved the softness in the feathers. Bird angle is just perfect. TFS.

[Stu Bowie]

Great flying posture with the near wing showing good underwing detail. Overall sharp, and that eye stands out so well.

[Gary Jones]

Well timed with good position. Good detail throughout, and that eye just makes it.
