Thanks a lot for your comments.

Ranga,

Wonderful fine distinct details, colors and lighting!

Looks somewhat like our Pileated Woodpecker but I'm by no means any sort of expert although very much a Nature/Wildlife fan!

Taking this one to my favorites for some future study!

Thanks for visiting one of mine recently, and my apologies for the delay in my visit!

Regards always,

Thanks a lot for your visit and comments and interest.

This is a lovely image with great colours and definition............ you have done well here.

Being the bit of a purist that I try to be (ha ha), I would have prefered a little more surround to help create a more "habitat friendly" presentation. Just me (smiles).

Well done

Hi Ranga,

An excellent execution of this relatively close range capture of such a lovely subject.

The technical specifications of what was used are spot on, too.

Best Regards, Mike

Thanks a lot for your visit and comments.

I think these birds are found mostly in SE Asia.

Hi Ranga,

  Beautiful colorful bird with wonderful details. Remind's me of the pleated woodpecker, but more colorful.  Thanks for sharing.   Take care, Patsy

Thanks a lot for your visit and comments.

great portait!

wish I was so lucky to see this bird ...

I can see what Grayham means about more space to include some of the birds environment. But I must confess I really like the "lazy Z" corner to corner diagonal that this image presents. Great colours and detail also.

Compliments & Best Regards
