What a gorgeous bird Else, its great to see species that you wouldnt get the chance to see otherwise.

I would of probably cropped a little closer getting more of the bird and not the pavement, as for the position of the bird, who are we to choose were we position our subjects! with wildlife its difficult enough getting the shot sometimes, let alone them being in the perfect setting, so i think you have done a great job, showing a good profile, getting the colours, and the eye is shown perfectly.
Well done Else and good luck with tempting more birds for shots.

Hi Bev..Thanks for stopping by and commenting .yes it certainly is tough getting the right shot with a bird .. they never do what u want them too .. he does look lost in all the space .. but wasn't sure how to crop it.
Cheers
Else
