Hi Annick

Wow... this is an ugly bird! This side on view reminds me of Quark, the Ferengi bar keeper in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Excellent colours. Nice work. :-)

Hi Annick

Antoher splendid portrait from you!
This in definitely one interesting animal - you can't really say he's beautiful, but with all those vibrant colors, he ca't really be "ugly" either...tough to cathegorize :))
The side POV here work terrific again and the apperture is again the perfet one for this types of photos.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Annick!
Very beautiful portrait! I really think you should create a new theme, something like "bird portraits" or similar one :)
Great POV, DOF and sharpness. Maybe I would change a little colour balance (to make colours more intensive) but I still like this picture a lot.
Greetings and TFS,

Hi Annick,
This is one of my favourite birds, so photogenic and plenty of textures and colours!
And you catched him with very good details.
You had a strong light but managed it pretty well with that almost light speed shutter speed, really a fast one.
I like the inclusion of the light feathers of the uper body into the framing.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

What a great "technicolor" shot! It is so well exposed, and sharp. All that color gives this strange fellow a certain beauty.

I will not say this is a pretty bird, but you sure did capture it as best as possible. The eye detail is spectacular as is the colours.
280mm gave you a nice DOF.
I think for the ISO it is much better than my Nikon can do at this high.
Nice work.

Hi Annick,
Beautiful. What more can I say.
