[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One Bright morning in the Kruger Park, I was travelling down a dirt road and just when things were getting a bit quiet, this Korhaan kept strolling up and down the road. He was seen on the s21 and for those who know the Kruger will know that there are frequent Leopard sightings along this road all year round. Despite there being no Leopard about, I got lucky with this little fellow....

I enjoy this little fellow. I particularly enjoy the clarity of the bird's features & feathers etc in the photo too. Well done of this one! Great shot!

Like the way in which the effect is that you can basically see nothing else than the perfect in focus bird and all its features!!

Excellent shot reflecting this birds'numerous colouring and patterns, most interesting!

Hi Sheriff Wilbury,
What an excellent capture!
Shots like this are a near impossiblity to frame, focus and shoot, and you did an excellent job on all counts.
Thanks for sharing.
Devendra!

What a lovely scene! Just great job!

Hi Sheriff

Running late this morning. A very quick critique. Nice work. Nicely composed with clear detail. Sharpness is spot on. TFS.

Hello Sheriff,

Well done on the focussing point. I love the way you clarified the features of the bird. The detail is absolutly brilliant. Its an AWESOME photo.

Hello Sheriff,
A nice shot of roadrunner on the road :-) Ready to go, I see :-)
Nice composition, nothing distracts the eye from the bird.
Greetings,
Michal

Sheriff, I like it.

Great bg and dof. I like pose too. The bird seems to be paying attention to the photographer.

An excellent job.

Very good capture ! Sharp and clear. Bravo !

Despite there being little colour contrast between the subject and its background, the image of the bird is clear. The control of focus has done wonders for this shot!

Hello Sheriff, nice shot. I love the lighting and the tones here. Maybe the composition is a little too centred but it's a nice shot all the same.

Have a nice Christmas

Hi Sheriff

Great shot. DOF shows bird well and the morning light adds to the feel. Very well done.

Well done my BOY!

Hi Sheriff
A nearly nice picture of the Red-crested Korhaan, Like the movement, the way he is looking back, in fact this is a VERY nice picture.
If I may? Cropp out about 50% of the negative space on the right, and see how this improves your image visually.

This photo is very sharp and the subject stands out so nice from the BG. I would consider cropping it as a portriat to get rid of the space to the left and right. Well done.

Wow Cute bird,you got excellent details.Nice POV.Good capture!

Hi Sheriff, lovely sharp and detailed shot of this bird. I like the neutral tones throughout. I would cut a little off the right of the image for composition purposes but everything else is spot on. Just love that bright highlight in the eye, boy does he/her look alert. Beautifully done :)

hello Sheriff,
Good pic, I love the colors, specially same tone with background and bird. Good details. I think composition is very centered, but is an opinion.
the bird resembles a bit South America´s tinamous.
Regards
Hernán

Nice capture.
I didn't know this bird. Amazing how small the foot are!
I would have less centered the pic.
Great shot anyway. TFS.

Hi Sheriff,
Very nice capture.
Nice details and color.
Well done!

Hi Sheriff

Thanks

Hello Scheriff,
You have such small gallery. I wish you could post more!
This is a lovely shot! It's clearness is simply superb and the lighting is perfect. Love the way the bird is looking at the camera. He seems to be a bit annoyed by you!
GREAT SHOT!
