    This is too good. Incredibly sharp on the face with a nice wing position, a pleasing BKGR, and a good EXP. Please tell us about the situation. Was the bird coming to a feeder? Leaving a nest?

    I love this shot ... specially the colours of the bird vs the background, thanks for sharing.

    Agreed - a superb image, with good sharpness, exposure, expression and background.

    Hi Arthur, thanks for your comment
    the bird was coming to a springead to drink water. It was hovering above the springhead as it is used to do so for 2-3 seconds.
