Very nice indeed :smile:
The sharpness of the bird really stands out.
Well done.

Gorgeous! Great light and the differential focus makes the shot.

Hi Guy,

Fantastic shot beautiful light, stunning detail in the bird . The focus point and chosen aperture spot on which allows the subject to stand out from the surroundings. :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

I viewed it several times now and have not tired of seeing it.

That's a classic and stands out even among the best images on here. It's been a long long time since I saw an image on here that I liked half as much as this. In fact this is the first one I can remember ever being jealous of and I really wish I had taken it.
Stunning wildlife art imo.

Excellent image Guy, particularly like the framing of the vegetation against the bird, great lighting.
