what a fantastic moment you have captured .. made all the more interesting by your blurb ..
you seem to have a lot of wildlife going on in your yard .. i sometimes throw out birdseed which attracts the magpies, and parrot type birds .. but i have a small live-in bird chaser so getting a shot would be challenging atm .. we shall see .. :)

Into the thick of it

if i hadnt glanced at the camera you used i could have imagined it was a footpath in front of you that you were walking on .. totally changed the way i saw this image ..
its a stunning shot .. it has everything going for it .. composition, interest, a spectacular view .. and loving the 'sun' peaking out behind the mountains .. magic ..
and then the added low clouds or fog ... icing on an otherwise very tasty treat ..
what i particularly love about it is that it looks almost unedited ...
which is saying something .. as i usually like a bit of tweaking .. !! ..
many congrats on the blue .. fits perfectly with your colour scheme .. :)

it's a stunning image .. just for starters ..
then I wonder about the logistics ..!!..
finding the bird .. shooting the bird while painting with light ..
seems like everything came together and you created a masterpiece ..
