South Africa is blessed with a number of beautiful bush shrikes - this is a relatively common member of the family. Taken early in the morning from a car. C&C pse.

Beautiful bird Oosty. Beautiful composition too..

As are as suggestions on the photo... Perhaps if you've got it, it would be nice to see the rest of the foliage to the right of the bottom bush shrike.

Maybe some of the highlights could be brought down in PS.

It's a good one though.

Thanks for sharing, keep em coming!

Peter,

I like the composition here - but it feels "noisy" & bringing down the highlights will probably help as well.

Thanks everyone - this is a different shot and I've darkened the highlights. Is this better? I'm a little hamstrung with noise reduction since I only have PSE6 at my disposal - any tips?
