Great shot! Remember singing about the kookaburra as a Brownie Scout. (I hate to admit how many decades ago.) Nice to see what one looks like. #6197083Karen Waters July 19, 2008
Thanks everyone!MJW, I wish I could say that I took this in the wild's of Australia, however I only had to travel to the aviary at Discovery Cove in Florida. My lens was set at 100mm for this shot.
And yes Jean, I DO remember that song from my scouting days too! Oh dear, that WAS a long time ago... #6197773

Guess I shoulda been a Brownie -- I was going to ask you if you made up that name! lol. This is a perfect closeup. Great detail, but what I like is the softness of the detail and the richness of your colors. This is an excellent capture. #6197793Karen Waters July 20, 2008
