This Juvenile Tricolor was hiding behind thick palm fronds. It will peek every now and then just assess situation and then dive back. Early afternoon light, Nikon D200, with 70-300VR, hand held @f10 and ISO 200. Raw processed in CS3.

. Love to see your C&C. Thanks, ifti.

Amazing effect of light & shadows, great DOF, contrast & details, nice color tones, Iftikhar, gorgeous capture!     Best regards

Nice capture, and crisp focus. The only negative is the shadow across the neck it takes your eye away from from the face.

Nicely done. A nice close crop portrait with a very good catchlight to highlight the eye. I like the recognizable background in that it shows the bird's surroundings though the DOF handled it well

Good lighting with a glint in the eye. I personally feel the shadow across the neck reinforces the shy nature of the bird and the accompanying narrative.

I don't know how I missed this one but glad I found it now. This is one of the most attractive bird images I've seen, The eye detail is amazing and composition perfect.  Deserves a 7.

Kind Regards

I'm with Alf on the composition.  Hi Five, Alf!  The choice of horizontal framing was a good one even though, with these tall birds, the initial tendency might be to frame vertically.  Your patience paid off.  One could wonder though, being a hand held shot, why you wouldn't have used a wider aperture to force a higher shutter speed & thus minimize any camera movement.  Critical sharpness has eluded you on this otherwise excellent bird shot.  Best, LM.
