Cinnamon Quail-thrush

These are basically a terrestrial passerine that live in the most arid regions of Australia. They usually only fly when flushed. Could do without some of the background distractions but that's what comes with a huge wet year.

Looks good to me. I don't feel the background is a problem as the bird itself "pops"

Really great detail and sharpness on the bird as usual Rob. Personally, I like the habitat included. No nits from me.

I also like the background which shows environment so this works for me, I like the detail and ground level perspective, well done.

Actually I really like the BG flora and OOF BG, a very pretty bird and in such a nice composition. Nice job, Rob!

Background fits well with the image as a whole Rob, and the low angel of view you acquired is marvelous :^)

Low perspective, typical pose, detail - all good. How would a vertical crop go?

The busy BG adds very much to this, Rob. The bird reminds me a bit of our Horned Larks somehow.
