Taken on a trip to the Kimberley in north-west Western Australia in late 2006.

Canon 20D handheld, 100-400L IS @400, f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO 200, AV +/- 0.
PS CS - Crop, clone out part of branch, quick mask in one tail streamer, sh-h, levels, curves, usm.

Thanks for looking.
And thanks to all for help in another forum on watermarks...this is what I've come up with (bottom right of image).

Beautiful bird, great light and BG. I lalso like the slightly lifted wings, must have been warm there.

I might clone out the dark spot at the top.

You are welcome Dean.

This is an outstanding image! Love the pose, composition is excellent. The BG compliments your subject very well. I would selectively lighten the bird a tad if it were mine....

It truly is a fantastic image. Excellent detail of a gorgeous bird. Nice composition and BG.

A beautiful bird, nicely captured! Great light, BKGR, posture and diagonal perch! Well done!

A very difficult bird to expose correctly but you did very well here. I really like the details and compositin here.
