wonderful details on this bird

[Jo Worboys]

Very well captured. I can see how it gets its name!

[Dorothy]

Beautiful and such a wonderful shot!

[Korcsog Károly]

Very well taken photo! The diagonal branch and the bird are located at the edge of the picture and his gaze looks towards the inside of the picture. Very often, the subject of the photo looks out of the picture, thus a part of the picture becomes uninteresting! I hope the translation is understandable. That's why I like the photo!

[Allison Maltese]

A beautiful shot of this new-to-you bird. I love your diagonal in the composition leading your eye right up the branch.

[Bucktree]

Excellent capture of the this bird and its fork tail.

[Judith Johnson]

Super detailed capture

Beautiful deep colour.

A great close up of this beautiful bird.

Great catch - and isn't his tail gorgeous. We have them over here too - not often seen though.

That's exciting, Diana! And you captured it well! A nice clean composition (no nasty branches in the way) and a great focus! Beautiful light and dof, too! Fav

Nice spotting. It does have a rather special tail.
