How do you choose one image from the 1,200 taken on our Kenya Safari? I love this little chap, so bright and colourful.
I hope you do too!
Apart from a crop to suit and a little sharpening, this is pretty much as it came out of the camera.
I had to use my x2 multiplier, so the focal length was 400mm - thank goodness for IS!

What a little cutie. I wonder if a curves adjustment wouldn't really enrich the overall tones. The bird seems almost too saturated against the paler background. The focus and DOF are spot on. ;~D
What a beautiful bird! Beautiful colours and great pose, wonderful composition. I am a bit let down by the technicals, though. It seems washed out and dull. A bit more contrast would do wonders for this.
A great subject and a well composed photo. However, it isn't particularly sharp and the orange/red of the beat and the legs appears unnaturally saturated.
