Hi Richard,
What a strange specie :)! This little one looks very funny to me. This is a nice capture, very dynamic and expressive. You caught nice details in good exposure. IMHO, I think that composition is a little too centered. If you could have cropped it a little to the right side, eye would have been more attired to the subject. This still is a very nice shot :)!

Hi Rick,

I love it!!!! What great timing to capture this little one with the mouth wide open. A superb close-up with excellent details. That face is marvelous. I hope his parents fed him.

Hi rcrick,

Well for sure that he seems very hungry and what a big mouth he has. Nice close-up with good details and I like what Claudine did also!

An Australian icon. Nice sharp image with good exposure. The slope of the perch hints that he was in your driveway, probably chuckling at you as you were reversing.

Very nice shot of this cute baby bird from Australia, Richard.
The wide open mouth says it all; it is hungry alright. Did you feed the poor thing?
Sharp focus on the eye is the best feature of this portrait image.
TFS and regards.

Hi Rick, very nice "in your face" shot. I love how you can almost see down his gullet, and that eye is awesome. Not bad for a "rush job". Yup the composition can be improved but that is only a little PP. You've got the shot, and it's great.

Thanks, John

Hello Rick,
Very well-timed and a great capture of this hungry Kookaburra calling for its mum! Fine details and natural colours. I wish we had these birds by our driveway! It must be great to live in Brisbane!

Hi Richard

Great capture - wonderful POV and eye contact, plus great detail.

I think the amazing thing about Kookaburras - to a visitor is their size - they are such big birds (especially compared to the European Kingfisher).

Nice one Rick. I bet he can make some noise. I think I would have been tempted to include the other bird to show the interaction between the two. Great job!

Excellent, a bit different from the usual kookaburra photo. The sharpness is great, guess that is the difference between a 5D and a 400D?
