Brown Cuckoo-dove (Macropygia amboinensis)

[Geoff Longford]

Deep creek Narrabeen NSW 30/12/06
This shot has been sitting around for too long and is one of the first digital shots I ever took.I guess it is one of those shots that could be photoshopped within an inch of it's life to tidy up the background but no.CBB.It's a pity the bird is on the wrong side of the perch ,which,by the way has not been set up.Nice lichen and all
Nikon D200
MF Nikkor 600mm
f 4
1/80th sec
ISO 100
Sharpened a touch.Thats it.

Another super image, love the level of detail in the bird.

I dont mind the bird on the wrong side of the perch because the perch is so nice I think it adds a bit to the shot.

[Trevor Harders]

Nice one Geoff - excellent detail

[Rick Playle]

Intersting looking bird Geoff, sure got piercing eyes, it looks quite a timid spooky bird
very hard to capture ??. I think this works fine. worth all the effort
cheers Rick

i dont mind the "busy" background the subdued colours seem to make it all work

[Richard Hall]

Very nice Geoff. Cool looking bird and perch.
