Another shot of one of a pair of birds that patrolled a section of the river. Unfortunately this species often uses large perches.

Nice capture, Rob. The detail is very good. I have never seen this bird so I am wondering if the blue is that brilliant, or is this a slight bit over saturated? At any rate, a quality image.

Stunning capture. The comp is perfect IMHO as is the OOF background. I don't mind the large perch at all.

A beautiful bird Rob. Such rich vibrant colours.
I prefer this perch to the one in your previous post.

Rob I don't think I would worry about the perch this beautiful bird more than makes up for it.

Astounding blue. I have the same question re: is it oversaturated?
