One more from the same trip as the last three posts.
Usually I can't get this close to the bird. But I was lucky when he perched right in front of me.
Cropped to 7Mp.

Lovely image of this beauty, Jefferson. Excellent job on the exposure and that little bit of slant to the stump really makes it work well as a perch.

This is quite a striking little bird. I like the contrast between the reds and the blacks. You did a very good job in exposing both colors. Nice pose, very good detail, and a wonderful background to set it all together.

What a handsome bird. I also like the slanted perch here (and the texture of it, which counters the smooth background nicely).

Beautiful bird I haven't seen before. Nice pose, sharp detail and the perch he chose is the perch he chose!
Fine catch!
