Jon, I think this is one of the nicer frames in a while (not that all are bad). Lovely color palette and you even got the attention of the...

Andreas, well lucky you ;-) The pose is first-class for sure. That look back on a dorsal perch is superb. Did you use a contrast gradient from...

Peachy Arash. Gorgeous wings up view with very nice details throughout. Sweet eye contact and I agree, looks great against the green!

Looks spot colours and tones are beautiful. A pleasing pose and ideal DOF - wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks Andreas glad you like it.

Hohoho Jon ... sorry to say this agin , but I think your older files do look better in terms of IQ than your images since you have moved to the OM...

Nicely timed Arash, the vertical wing stroke not only shows of the cool detail but also the subject looks more dramatic, rather than having the wing...

They are a breeding pair that I have been photographing for almost a year Arash. Because it’s a photography location, it has meant, birds get feed,...

Again, very much appreciated amigo. Will continue onward (and hopefully upward) :cheers:

Thanks for taking this in the spirit it was posted, tongue-in-cheek. Jon, I got as much out of the blacks as was there, but your other points are...

Thanks Dan, point taken, I had thought it was light enough not to be distracting, but...

Colin he's a little dandy! A very tricky shot to capture and I suspect not so easy to process. The bird is in it's environment, so I accept that -...

My first thought was about that shadow, so I agree with the others. However, this is a fun and dynamic image and it had me look for quite a while to...

Classic BOAS image. Yes, no longer quite as exciting as a few years ago, but still quite satisfying to create when done well. A great look at this...

This guy looks like it means business! Great perch and background - I especially like the grasses. Man, that pesky bill shadow on the breast! It's...

Well done .Like Andreas I had a good laugh at your description which makes a point which needs making .Great bird, hard to get to stand still ,.F10...
