Another from south west Queensland in July. It's been too wet here to get out for a few days.

Unusual and colorful bird with great BG, perch, lighting and feather detail. Very nice shot, Rob.

You're killing me with these Zebra Finch shots! Nice composition and feather details. Good head turn and eye contact. The color is spot on. Well done.

Hi Rob,
Nice presentation with the V-shaped perch. Details and colors look great. Australia sure has more than it's fair share of ornately colored birds.

Good one, Rob. What an interesting color scheme on the bird. Exotic.
Like the head turn as well.

Love it. White backgrounds sometimes get a bad rap, this disproves that they are unattractive. The "V" created by the two branches work well in the composition.
