I thought the wind-blown waterlily pad made an interesting perch

This is an example of an image for me where the surroundings and perch add as much (or even more) as the subject. Wonderful setting and great techs on the bird's blacks as well ! Great work , hans

Great shot Rob This shows the Drongo off much better IMO. The environment and tones do not compete with it in any way. Wonderful detail in the larger view.

I agree that the environment really makes the image. great sharpness and detail. The only nit I would have is a little more detail in the breast of the bird.

The setting on this is almost as good as the subject. The combination makes this a stellar image. Well done.
