Beutiful. Perfect. No more plus nor minus. It's like saying, Ka Romy, ano pa hinihintay mo? I can't wait to be in the pages of your book. Like the grebe, i love the color.

Hi Victor, I'd prefer that the foreground leaves aren't there, the out-of-focus background is cleaner, and the vantage point be a little bit to the left...:) Romy

Superb shot. I love this one, but I am curious - what are the "minor technical shortcomings"? I don't see any.

Despite some minor technical shortcomings, I like this photo a lot because of the bird's pose and the difficulty of capture - hand held at 700 mm and 1/60 sec in available low light. This endemic dove edges out the Colasisi in my elite gallery.

Perfect !!!!! I just love everything about this photo. The eyes, the pose, the details of the feathers and the brownish background.
