Elsa .. knowing you for all your great studio work I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I read the subject headline  ;)

Great capture and an unusual BIF shot!

thanks guys :)

Lars - WHAT were you thinking!!!  ;D

Fanie - thats someone else's palm tree!  I often shoot against it so I don't shoot into the sun. But the sun isn't always that side - I just got used to shooting with it as a back drop. I will re-think that part - thanks for the comment, I seriously didn't think that far.  I have one of my own that's in my way when shooting - on the other hand I can hide from the sun under the palm leaves.

I happen to enjoy the oof palm, makes an attractive and interesting background that compliments the coloring of the birds without distracting.

I find the background too distracting but the foreground is awesome.
