Have to agree with Bronia, a lovely species to have in your garden!

Great to see it in the tree in such a natural setting.

Nicley focussed on that bright eye, with some nice detail in the plumage!

Works for me....

Here the foliage in front is adding to the setting and environment.... normally a very timid bird nicely imaged showing the subtle greys in the plumage well....

Love the purple hue that you usually don't get to see most of the time. Well framed and complimented by the green foliage

Exposure and comp works very well indeed. Some brilliant detail all focused on that eye. Like this a lot.

Hi Phil

Very very nice - minor nit for me a little big in the frame.

Hi Phil,

Cracking shot! The natural setting really looks super in this image. I agree with David it is a little large in the frame, but what the hell!

Cheers,

Lewis.
