I like the colors and the pose you caught this bird in. Without its legs showing almost looks like it is floating on the grass!

Thanks for sharing.

A very cool looking bird, Ken and a nice shot of it. Good job on the exposure (even at iso400).

Excellent!I am not a fan of grass shots, but I believe it works here, with the rather staid grass a counter point and frame for the dark orange breast of the bird. devil
