Iridescence

[Shakey]

When the sun hits the Magpie just right the iridescence of its feathers shows that it is actually quite an attractive bird.

that is definitely a good looking bird - and one that likes to toss snow around! can't you smooth talk him a bit? seems too tense, gotta keep your models calm... :lol3

Hey Tim,

Those are really good captures of a difficult subject. :clap A special thanks for your fine contribution to our growing collection of bird butts shots, way to go. :thumb

Gotta agree with Harry, Tim. That's one fine butt shot. A butt shot, that any of us butt shooters would be proud to call our own :smile6


Seriously, nice captures and that is a pretty looking bird and a tough one to expose correctly :thumb :thumb As Doc points out, you may need to utilize your human to avian interpersonal skills more. Put that Magpie at ease.....lol


Thanks for sharing,
Steve
