    Great pose and colors. What is the background?

    Hi Sid,

    This shot has a different kind of look, I suppose due to the flash, a little brighter on the bird than I'm used to seeing. I like the bubble-gum color on this species and you've got a great comp with the diagonal effect but it doesn't look as natural as other Sid images that I love. Thanks.

    I agree that while it is an interesting photograph, it is somewhat unnatutural. I like it but it evokes questions.

    Thanks DB. Agree with you this is not a natural looking image. I am working on my flash skills and hoping to make an image you like someday.

    Technically well executed Sid, but I have to agree that it looks a bit artificial. Interesting concept though, and worth exploring more. Maybe if you toned down the flash a bit?

    Sid,

    I agree that the use of flash has resulted in a slightly "unnatural" feel to this, but nevertheless a fine capture, which I think could be slightly modified in PS.

    Good detail in the whites, and have to agree with the others, this is somewhat different to your other images. Well done for trying something different.

    this one looks very unnatural, details are good but overall it just doesn't look right, maybe less flash power next time.

    Hey Sid looks like the MKIII can focus , I played around with this a little to lessen the flash look while it help it is still a little to much .

    Thanks you all.

    Technically, with Don's repost Ibis is exposed right. The unnatural feeling you are getting is from the background. It is a different image.
