Here's a shot from our Thailand tour last year. This was taken from a boat on Beung Borapet, a large lake that's rich in birds.

Nicely composed under the changing conditions.

Attractive color combinations that stand out well against the neutral gray BG.
Great comp & pose, well done Nate

A very sweet shot. I like the pose, the catchlight, the nice light and the BG is very clean. Looks a little more colorful than the shrikes I see in Texas.

Sweet! Great pose, branches, and BG. My personal preference would be to clean up the small branches in the lower right.

Beautiful capture and pose of the Shrike. The gray background makes the photo look like an illustration for a bird book.

I'd love to do all these tours you all do, I however am not equipped or at the level to do so.

Nice one Nate - such a typical pose and perch
