Black Collared Barbet/Rooikop Houtkapper


I thought I’d add this last one in response to Ben’s comment on the above image.

  1. Ben Broughton commented:

    Excellent image, Johan. The fruit and fruit holder is a little distracting in an image like this. Even cloning out the fruit holder will improve this image. The Barbett is well exposed, good color and sharp. Good out of focus BG.
    With bird photography one tries to exclude all man-made objects from the image.

    Johan i agree with Ben on the top one. The bottom one is A1. Great!

  3. Ben Broughton commented:

    The second image is absolutely stunning. This will pass as a nature image. Well done Johan!

    Agree w/Ben bottom shot is stunning.
