    It doesn't get much sweeter than this. Lovely complimentary perch. Fantastic details on a very lovely bird.

    I would advise you to take up landscape photography :)

    Aside from the usual technical and artistic perfection the matching colors of the bird and the berries are absolutely special.

    Super work Alan, I love this. Capture, perch, background, environment - all working in perfect harmony. This bird seems to be aware of its own beauty. :cool:

    Good work, Alan. And thanks, Artie, for calling attention to the matching berries and plumage. Perhaps Alan was aware of the match when preparing for the shot in the field, but even if he wasn't aware, he probably noticed the match when reviewing the shots later. Just as it's commendable to see opportunities in the field, it's also commendable to see them during post-processing.
