Wonderful catch Peter! Congratulation for the impressive new entry. That is an Yellow-crowned Gonolek according to you. What a magnificent coloration. Difficult but well executed shot with pleasant detail and fine composition. If you excuse me I am presenting my version based on the original with some gentle level and other adjustments. Thanks for the great new addition once again!

Hello Peter,
I also remember waiting for and chasing the Gonolek before I could take a picture of it in Gambia. At last I achieved one at a distance but it was analogue.
This is a great capture, the POV showing most of its features with fine colours and sharpness against a fine contrasting BG. I like the composition between the two large branches too.
Thanks for this fine reminder of a beautiful bird. I rember the call duetted by the female too.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

The position of the bird in the middle of diverging branches is truly attractive, Peter. The colour combination on the bird is extremely beautiful. It is a fantastic picture as a whole.
Thanks and regards.

Hello Peter,
wow.what a lively view of the bird with lovely red,black,yellow body. The pose is so innocent and you have shown it very nicely.I like the shallow depth that gives a dramatic composition.

Hello Peter,
A fond memory from Gambia although we never managed to get this close! I'm surprised it's the first time on TN. I remember well the striking colours that you show well here and I do like its pose in the workshop.

Hello Peter,
This seems to be a difficult picture to make, and you have managed very well!.
The colors are a bit dull, I know the name of this lack, but sometimes it happens in my photos and then I fix the levels in post-processing.
Either way, it's a good photo and a beautiful bird species!

You get extra kudos for trying so hard and for having a unique bird. I think the pose will do just fine and apparently so do many others. This one will keep you busy for a couple days!
