[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We just arrived in the camp and while we unpacked the car in the tree next to the car I saw this weaver.
It is according to me a red headed weaver.

Breeding males have scarlet head, breast and mantle are diagnostic.
Female and non breeding male both have lemon yellow head.
So if I am wrong please tell me.

Thanks for looking

Vivian

Hi Vivian!
Very beautiful picture of this weaver bird from South Africa.
Excellent perspective and judicious use of the ambient light. The colours are truly exquisite.
Did you notice there is aslight noise in the BG?
I decided to remove it by doing a workshop. Hope you will not mind it.

Hello Viv,
You're lucky to have visited South Africa with its bio-diversity of flora and fauna. You got an excellent shot of this beautiful weaver, very sharp and the composition is great. The lighting difficult but you made the most of it!
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Viv

Very good saturation of colour. Great POV. Looks as though just a tad too much sharpening.
