How beautiful. I've never seen the adult male. Juvenile male and adult female but never this gorgeous guy.

An incredible image. DOF perhaps a tiny bit too narrow (tail) but an absolute cracker of a bird.

Great shot. Have to agree with Peter, touch more DOF. Very good use of the flash. Careful with the Better Beamer!! Well done. :t: :t: :t:

Thanks everybody for looking. I appreciate the nice comments and the critiques about the narrow depth of field causing the tail to be out of focus. I'll stop the lens down a bit more next time if the light will allow.
