How great to have such a cooperative bird. Cool looking snag too. Well done!

Great shot of a beautiful bird! Good comp and exposure, only wish the BG had more depth but that can't be helped sometimes haha

So nice! The larger version especially is striking in clarity and detail.

Hi Charlie! What a beautiful bird and the perch is terrific too. I am not a fan of the high key BG but I'd love to have taken this.
