He almost appears arrogant in this pose; and those gigantic talons are super impressive.
Wonderful shot.

Sensational colors and texture, it all comes together perfectly here. Borbet wrote in post #19128052 --- Supremely clean composition and nicely balanced lighting, with just the right amount of gesture from the bird. Very nice shot! Your photo here has a sublime blend of softness, yet sharp detail. I think it's the lighting that's doing it, but it really imparts a 3D-ness to the scene that's a pleasure to view. My jaw dropped when I saw this image, man this is so good! It's like a cut from a movie. avondale87 wrote in post #19128376 male Superb Fairy Wren This once really brings out the beauty of these SFWs, and the bold pose of the male in breeding plumage is awesome. Nice work on getting the whole guy into the DOF envelope! If they're anything like our Carolina Wren, they're always bobbing about, and that tail can get projected out of the sharp area.

avondale87 thanks for whoever started this  More info | Sep 22, 2020 06:33 | #66378 MatthewK wrote in post #19128389 This once really brings out the beauty of these SFWs, and the bold pose of the male in breeding plumage is awesome.

Thanks Matthew. While they do stay in one spot occasionally, they are fidgity birds and their tail flicks about.

SYS Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 22, 2020 09:19 | #66380 Very pleasing portrait, Mike ~~ Lame-Duck wrote in post #19128318 Very nice Richard! You've been posting some really cute shots here lately. I really like them. A-Number-1 shot Vassilis! Very nicely composed shot, Robert! Very nice, pcs! Nice shot of the hen wood duck, fotoi. I like the soft lighting on her. Very nice, Tom! What a cool looking perch! This shot is definitely full of humor, Borbet! I love it. This bird must be the long necked species, Phil!   Both of these are neat shots.Nice capture, Pag! Excellent close up shot, SYS. I would have thought this one is a juvenile mourning dove. The Eurasian collard-dove has a rather pronounced dark collar that goes around the back of the neck, but not the throat. Please correct me if I wrong on this, SYS. Nothing to correct except my own mis-identification. I jumped to a quick assumption because I've only had Eurasians in my yard, but you're correct, it's a juv mourning dove. Thanks!
