One from a couple of weeks back - I actually didn't "completely" set this up - I found a fallen tree which had all the lichen on it, and called the bird in.
D800, 300 2.8VRII, 1.7TC, f4.8, 1/400, ISO 1800.
Thanks, Greg.

Exotic bird, fine details. Love the perching and composition. At least you should mention at what country this beauty is taken.

Nice one Greg - I like that branch, and the pose is pretty neat as well.

Excellent perch with no distractions in the BG, and very interesting subject with beautiful colors. Nicely done!

Sorry, Tjie - this was taken in Victoria (southern Australia),
Cheers, Greg

Beautiful bird and a very complementary BG. Composition is perfect, you certainly took advantage of the setting presented to you. Well done.

The composition of this is spot on and really makes the bird pop of the screen, that 800 is doing a fine job.
