Brilliant image, I agree with Craig as it very different to what you normally see and show off the blue stripe well.

A different but very nice shot.

The different viewpoint shows the colours beautifully. Just a tad more depth of field would have got that beak really sharp, but a minor nit as the colours along the back are the main focal point. :toast:

I see a slight magenta cast on the image, like Simon I think f2.8 is just too shallow to get all the detail in, I take it you have a new camera too :smile: the exif say's 40D :wink: look forward to seeing more.
