I know this is not parralel to the sensor, but I am happy with it because it seems to have brought out the colours in the bird quite well, something I have never achieved before.

Fantastic shot Ken, such beautiful colours. The pose with the left leg raised makes it appear as though it's just about to have a good old head scratch ;^) Love the catchlight in the eye too!

A nice, sharp shot that has brought out the colours very well, which isn't always easy with this species. I do think you could crop a little more off the top without detracting from the image.
