I have lightened the (natural sooc) luminous green in the BG as suggested by sfalice
I also found it too eye catching/aggressive.

Might do Ann, but I'd have to go swot up on it :)

OK so I am waiting for you to come back and enlighten us :) Looks as if it's in flight to me and also right side up. Lovely motion blur on the wing and nice sharpness on the head area where we want it most.

At first I thought the bird was in flight, but then realized it was hanging on to some sticks and either landing or getting ready to fly away (or just flapping their wings - do they do that?)

I tend to like the darker version better, maybe because I'm looking at it on an iPad and the lighter version looks too bright.

What a beautiful capture. Love that you captured the bird in flight.

I like this ver better. It took me a long time to put it all together & see the bird is upside down. I love it.

Beautiful bird with great camouflage colouring.

Very nice - this unusual bird does deserve to be seen in as much detail as possible. Good critique Alice and great job of following through Harvey - leaving enough green for it to still look natural.

Yes, it is easier to see the detail on the bird now.
