Finally got one perched on a bush, and not a fence.

Lovely comp, sharpness and shadow detail.

Thank you very much Marko. Was some nice, very early, morning light.

Superb sharpness .... I suppose this was hand held? You being much younger have a much steadier hand then old fart Matt. :headslap: Love the posture, you captured a really catchy moment. Eye pops nicely, too.

Exactly what Marko said.

I love the angle of the image as well. :)

[Iguanasan]

And I am also in agreement! :) :thumbup:

Thanks all, and Matt, (I won't tell ya it was the 500mm f4L with 1.4x tc attached, handheld, then.):p:angel:

Great shot! Really stands out against the skyline.

Besides the bush being a more 'natural' setting, the plant's colour gives the image a lot of punch. Also, Like others have said, well done on getting so much detail in the dark feathers. Really nice image!

It is a really nice image, and technically its very good, but what I like most about it is the eye contact.

Thanks again to all for the kind words. I do agree, the colour in the bush really helps, and so glad to get one, NOT on a fencewire.
