I really hoped for the male but I'm also quite happy with this one.
The sun was at it's highest point so the light was a bit harsh.

Great shot Edwin

Hi Edwin

Very very nice. The light doesn't look harsh to me - I assume although it was the middle of the day it was bright overcast?

Light doesn't look harsh to me either Ed, I'd have guessed at overcast too - lovely detail

Hi Edwin,

Beautiful capture!

The light doesn't look very harsh from here. That's another beauty. You've captured that dreamy quality again, is it something you enhance when you process them Edwin or is the light just like that where you live? I'd love to know because it is very effective and really gives your images a distinctive style.

Light looks great to me too, and the background really does complement the bird well
