a species not too many people down here like, because they are very loud and sometimes do a bit of damage on crops. However, they have lots of personality and are fun to photograph :)

Way wicked. Looks like a studio shot. Perfect pose and detail in the WHITES.

I love the wing spread and the colours and the bird's character shines through. The bird is not quite parralel to the sensor but that is a minor nit. One for the wall.
Love the full wing and tail spread - were you using flash here Jan? Were you hand holding the 600? These are a very funny species that seem to enjoy themselves a lot.

A very interesting photo. An excellent all out full air pose and I really like the slight head turn. Top notch.
Interesting border choice. Different.
Hi Jan
Nice shot...! You got the feather detail I was looking for... My only nit is that it looks a bit like it is nailed to a blue wall. I guess the lack of foreground/background is creating that illusion to me.
I concur with the damage, noise and personality. This is the only (wild) bird I have seen roll on its back and I have seen it many times... and they will play with a leaf blowing by for many minutes, throwing it into the air and then jumping on it. I have a feeling some of the plants they rip apart/chew/eat may be illegal..
well done
DON
I was handholding the 600 and the bird was close to landing on a pole :)
No flash was used.
Really nice flight shot and great details.
Wow!!! Excellent flight shot. Superb pose, exposed perfectly, detail is superb, and lovely light.
Very well done.

sweet pose and details Jan
