Hi Rob - This is a well-composed image of a beautiful subject on a nice perch. The blurry leaf on the left border is a bit distracting, in my opinion, but cropping it out might leave too little space in front of the bird. The 5D3 brings captures fine detail even at iso 3200. :smile:

What a wonderful blue color pattern to a bird I have never heard of. Nice job getting this in the forest which can be difficult with the lighting conditions, well done Rob.

A stunning bird, Rob. About as blue as you can get. Nice detail and background. I agree with Randy that the large OOF lease is a bit distracting.
