Hi Paul,

Yes a difficult crop,but you managed quite well,thanks for sharing this beatifull bird,not that often seen on TN,regards,

Paul

Hi Paul, this would make a great business card for your business, with your name and number underlined by the tail. Very nicely seen and captured. I do like the crop on this guy as I stated previously, it definitely has it's uses. The detail seen on the bird is very good,and with great colour. I like this pose, with him looking back over the length of the shot.

Thanks, John

Unbelievable, Paul.
I just cannot believe the length of those tail feathers,
and you caught them in a perfect pose.
What an outstanding POV.
The colors are great too.
TFS. : )

Hello Paul,
Years ago I made some photos of this birds. But always from a big distance, because they're very shy and I had always problems with the composition, because of the long tail.
You succeeded in both. Great blue BG.

Regards,
Peter

Never seen that one before. Interesating
His feather are not taken care of so well. I guess he just can't reach them for the daily cleaning.
What a bird.
TFS
