Arthur, your bird pics are bloody great mate and that is 1 nice looking bird.
I notice the other pic of this bird in other post as i did not coment yet as i had a photo order come in while looking at it and got distracted.Anyhow i know you used the flash so i gather this bird was not a long way away? I have not tried this so it looked great anyhow.
Well done.
Cheers
John

Stark...(not the Gary Stark), and beautiful. Simple in a Zen kind of way. Well shot. You are a skillful photographer.

This is great and really has impact for me because of the consistent tonings - all muted blue & greys. Wonderful stuff.

Great capture Arthur! If that bird was any lower, it'd be camouflaged

I love this shot Arthur.
Great soft blue and grey colours. Good looking bird in an expressive pose.
Only thing I notice is that the pole is not vertical - was that the way it was? I don't think it needs correcting - it doesn't seem to detract from a great image.

Thanks for all your kind comments and feedback.
Yes, Andrew, we had a great time. It was very tiring too. Still not used to driving there and back. Did 3 wrong turns and thank goodness for street directory.
Yes, the pole was actually slanted. Will try to see if it looks better straighten. Several people have suggested that.
The picture is slightly underexposed. I did that deliberately so that I can keep the background as it is.
regards,
Arthur

Hi Mic,
we went to Serendip and was tricked. one was a cardboard of a crane and another of a pair of parrot. at first i thought they were real. no amount of chips will help.
regards,
Arthur
