A very lovely bird. I think I would clone out the OOF grass blades at the top of the frame.
How did you get that amazing eye, with its 4 catch-lights?

That eye got me, Phil. What I guess I'm saying, I didn't do anything to capture or create it. This was taken near our house and my guess is that there are reflection from windows. This was shot in 2009, I think, and don't have data.

Great pose and perch, Charlie, and I love the bg and light. Something about your preparation for posting seems to be amiss. I'm seeing odd fringing in the bg (see the lower left corner for example).

Gorgeous color. It seems to me that there is a loss of feather detail in the upper 1/2 of the body, may be unavoidable in this color bird.
