The water-lilies at Beung Boraphet were almost as much of an attraction as the birds.

A very colorful habitat scene you do not see very often and interesting to see another bird I have never heard of, way to go Rob.

Another solid capture Ron. :toast: This one needs to see his / her fashion consultant. They are definitely being out done by the lilies. :biggrin:

Lovely light and a terrific job on a difficult exposure, Rob. The composition with all the foreground blooms in crisp focus is excellent.

Love the colors in this photo. I think the placement of the bird is excellent, along with the feel of its environment. Very nice image!

The colors here are great, they really set off the black bird nicely. I do wish that you hadn't cut off the flower on the left.

Rob,
Very colorful setting that contrasts nicely with a black bird. Nice head turn and great eye contact. The larger image is a must see. Great detail and eye popping colors. Keep them coming Rob. :toast:

Nicely composed Rob. Really brings a to of interest to a bird with no color. Really great way to show this.
