One from a few weeks ago. This is one of our common little bush birds here in Australia.

Thanks for looking, Greg.

They just get sweeter Greg and the vegetation  adds to it.

Trademark stuff.

I always admire images with the aid of a flash, it really ups the quality look of the image. As it has done with this one.

Lovely setting, BG, detail and subject devil

You couldn't ask for much more in terms of prech and bird matching. Well done ! Love colors in the bird enormously, what a beauty ! The lager version could use a litte NR in my humble opinion, but other than that: stunning ! Cheers, Hans

Lovely perch  and great details in the bird. Fill worked great here-expertly utilized IMO, and the comp rocks. Nice work Greg.
