French Partridge
Far too cold to stick his neck out for me but at least he was happy enough to sit still. An 'import' they may be, but they certainly add a splash of colour to our countryside.

1D3 700mm ISO:400 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6, just a sliver off the top and left.

Thanks for looking,

Simon :wavey:

This is grogeous and makes me think of a warm Summer's day... I don't know enough about this species to comment on the setting/context but the bird looks magnificent and the light is lovely :toast:

Just a tad large in the frame for my taste, but otherwise superb. I love those rich, vibrant colours.

Simon, really good image, with superb colours. Having the hint of blue sky gives it the edge. :toast: :toast:

beautiful image and the colour is stunning

A very, very strong portrait Simon. Nice image. Not really a nit, but maybe the 'sliver' you took off the left would balance the image a little more? Either way, well done.

Cheers,
Chris

Superb image Simon, and the colours are fantastic. I like the way the colour of the belly feathers are mimicked in the background colour. I agree with Chris above about keeping in the left bit to balance it more. Super sharp shot that I would love in my files. :jump: :jump:
