You've captured a beautiful scene, Karen. Lovely and well composed image with a nice clean background. Look forward to seeing more of your practise sessions. :smile:

Very nice indeed, looks like the practice has paid off for you. Super detail and nice clean BG. A great species to photograph and the singing just lifts it a notch.
