It's brilliant Keith, fabulous colour and detail and really well composed. (You must be getting bored though by the constant teacher comments.) :biggrin:

They are about again, although at my local spot they are doing their best to stay hidden at the moment. I really like the pose of this one.

Hi Kieth, a very striking image colourwise, that yellow really 'pings' out against the murky BKG. Not sure what is causing the slight OOF/diffuse 'blob' under the tail feathers, but if this is set-up, I would be tempted to remove it for future shots. I like the body and head angle as it shows the subject off well, but personally would like a lower POV if possible. Shooting down towards the subject is not a great/ideal angle. A tad more space at the foot of the image would also, I think, help too.

A nice image with great colours and nice and sharp. Needs a bit more room around it especially at the bottom where the foot is very nearly touching the edge :wink:

Lovely pose and details Keith and the colours are gorgeous. Echo comments on a tad more space at the bottom.
