Took this this afternoon during a really enjoyable photo session with the birds I work with. Present also was Danny (the man) Green.

More or less a full frame shot with little cropping to frame.

I have placed (c) in title for captive bred.

Whoops I forgot lol, sorry Danny for driving over your camera bag with a 4x4

D2X - 400mm AF-S
ISO 200, F10, 1/80sec

Superb light from the setting sun. I also love the thoughtful, melancholy expression of the bird.

You certainly make the most of your access to these birds - I don't think I've seen anything other than stunning shots from you.

Super lighting and pose Vincent. Look a little soft to me, but that could be downsizing for the web.
Any which way it's a cracking shot!

Hi Vince

Lighting and setting make for near perfect image!

Now this is nice, the setting, the light and of course the bird all conspire to make a great image.....

Glad you didn't say handheld

Is Danny ever going to speak to you again?
