I'm still trying for these, I would be very happy to get a result like this.

Hi Craig,

very nice shot sharp and good pose. :toast:

I would be tempted to get rid of the purple bit at the top as I draws my eye away from the subject

ditto David's comment, I'd be very happy with this. I particularly like the colours but would also consider cropping the dark strip at the top.

I'd have to go along with Matt - crop out the dark strip Craig.

Also, the greens look a bit colourful :wink:

I love all the colours in this shot, for me it makes it - a fabulous setting for a beautiful bird. :toast:

Cracking colours Craig though I'd be tempted to leave the purple bit at the top as it echoes the plumage of the bird, if I was going to crop it I'd be looking at the bottom, I'll rephrase that, I'd remove a slither off the lower part of the frame!!!

Lovely! I was chasing a few of these down an avenue of trees yesterday and got nothing - green with envy! (I agree that the greens and yellows here might be just a little over saturated)
