Lilac Breasted Roller

Never apologize for great pics. Love the background on this one and the fine look at this beautiful guy (gal).

Nice to have such a fancy looking bird be "easy", Ken.  Superb detail in the larger image.  It does look just a bit washed out to my eye-you might try giving it a bump with the curves to make it pop a bit more.

Beautiful subject, nice perch, pleasing background.

The image has a pretty heavy green cast to it.  Here's a version with that color cast removed.  See what you think.
 

Sorry?  I don't think you should be.  This is a really fine image. Colorful, sharp, great pose and comp. is right on. I like Keith's toned down background but your bird and perch (a combination of the two).   

Definitely a fantastic portrait of this roller, Ken! I thought the original was a bit yellow/green but once that grows on you it's hard to lose all of that with Keith's correction. I don't question his rework (ever, really) but just as a personal preference might go somewhere in between the two on this one, even if it's less than pure. ;)

Great pose you captured here Ken.  The colors don't look right to me in either version for this species, I was wondering when I saw it if the color space was off and you forgot to convert it to srgb.  But maybe this is just a duller individual than normal. 

Thanks for the interesting comments.
Generally many images of this bird that I have seen have the colours far to "bright".
It is undoubtedly a very colourful bird , but the colour is totally dependent on the brightness of the light.
Perhaps I was trying to hard to not have the "electric" feel.

I'm jealous of your biodiversity.  Nice image.  Perfect BG.  A tiny bit more room on the left might help.

Beautiful bird well captured.  Great light, pose perch, and background.  I would not change a thing.

David & David,
Thanks very much
