    Default DIDERICK CUCKOO

    Hi everyone, it's been a while. I been busy with a lot of thing and haven't been out photograping birds unfortunately. I ventured out today and was lucky to get a different species. Hopefully ID is correct.
    In PS used some quick mask to smooth out BG and remove a plant.

    Glad to see you back Vivaldo and you have brought an excellent image for us. I have never seen this bird and I like all of this: the comp, flower, pose, exposure, sharpness. Well done.

    Agree with all that has been said above Vivaldo. The colours are stunning and perfect on the Cuckoo. TFS.
