  Excellent shot. How did you get it so dark around the bird though>???

  It is a result of the lighting in the scene causing contrast and the limited exposure latitude and characteristics of the film tending to block up dark areas (Velvia). BTW the reflection has been burned down a bit in Photoshop, otherwise this is as is.

  My kind of picture..I have lots of shots of these birds preening but none so compelling..Photoshop sure does help give a photo that little extra. Frankie

  Strikingly beautiful!! Great detail.

I really like this shot and the way you have presented it. Was this taken in a bird sanctuary or a zoo perhaps?

I have taken some great shots in our local zoo.
