Japanese Dusky Thrust - Click image to view larger!

Thanks for viewing/comments! .... I see so many beautiful birds in Japan but

this one is the only one that I can snap a shot ... :-)

Very Nice Detail!! AJ

Thanks AJ! my tour group was leaving and I had to get a birdshot .... I was shooting like crazy while dialing down my shutter speed since the bird keep hopping in/out of the shade and did not notice it's way down to 1/125 . Lucky that I got this sharp! I did make a point to wait for the bird to tilt it's head such that I get the catchlight in the eye though.

I like how this looks at 400mm,indeed nice details and color of feathers also that few blades in same layer with bird look very good in composition.

Thanks Radu! Good to hear from you, it turns out better than I had hope for. One of the thing that I'd like to shoot in Japan is the Japanese Macaque .. and that means I will have to make another trip to Japan :-)

A very eye catching image, also for back- and foreground. Splendid.

Thanks Giuseppe!
