Just a couple of Galahs but I liked the perch as much as anything. waiting to come down to a stock trough to drink. The tree is a dead mulga.

These are so interesting to look at . It looks like they have a bandanna over their face. I like the details and the composition.

I agree, Rob, the perch is awesome. Great lines. The Galahs make a nice accent.

Rob, I agree with the rest - love your comp and the dead mulga made a great perch for you to work with. Interesting lines here and I like your subjects too.

Love the composition Rob. If just one Galah showed up here it would be a big deal, believe me.

There is an interesting hint of green in the lower background, so much subtle beauty in this photo.
