Sorry about the old shots but the camera should be back tomorrow - new shutter mechanism.
Here's one from a couple of years ago that I've just processed.

Rob, the image quality of the IIn has always impressed me as have your images of all the wonderful birds you have in Australia. This is another example. Nice simple comp with a great BG and cool perch. Love the colors on this species.

Very nice as usual Rob, I like the background, perch, and detail in the bird. I can't help but wonder though whats in the backbround creating the gray color.

Hi Rob,

You have a very distinctive style of photography and this is another trademark image, I love how the orange breast contrasts with the cool tones of the BG and perch. Super shot of a very smart little bird.

New or old is fine with me when they look this good. But I'm not used to seeing such a colorful bird!

Nothing wrong with "old shots" Rob, especially when they're this nice. Love it as posted.

A great "oldie" here...lovely vivid colors against a smooth BG. I really enjoy your posts of the species you find "Down Under" Rob.

Rob,

Thankfully the photos we create don't have an expiration date like a carton of eggs, old or new makes no difference to me if the quality is there and it is certainly is in this image. Bravo, well done.
