Superb detail on this Phil and the lighting has really brought out the glorious colours on this bird. A very impressive image. My only nit is. . . . "where the hell can I get some of that light?". It has been like the dark ages around here of late. :biggrin: :toast:

Very nice photo Phil. Love the detail in the feathers, especially the water droplets. As Robert mentioned, the light looks mighty fine for winter! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Light, what light? Cracking image Sir! 600mm + 1.7 tc has certainly delivered the goods and even at 1/1000s you were at its limit so well done on such a sharp image.
