Overall nice colors in this shot, and the bird stands out pretty well between the scrubs. Nice catch :toast: , Hans

I like your placement of the bird in the frame between the 2 shrubs, with a third shrub serving as background for its head. Nice subtle colors and very sharp!

Excellent techs, Ken. The head turn could be better, but great scenery all around. The koorhan stands out nicely in the setting. You may consider taken some space on the left and make this a vertical comp. Nicely done. :toast:
