Ha! Like the first one of the boss thinking "bloody ell, hurry up!"... :lol:

The portrait of the kooka is good, great angle and good feather detail, seems spot-on exposure and a nice creamy background too...

Thanks mudder, this is a 100% crop, taken with the 85/1.4.

digitor - whilst taking nothing away from Vicki, I do like the kookaburra. Very nice exposure - natural colours and creamy background. Just got to love the 85mm f/1.4 :D BTW: whereabouts did you find him, so I can go looking next time I am in the vacinity.

Glad you like the shot fozzie - this was taken at the creek just near the Botanic Park entrance. There was a couple of young Kookas hanging around, being the hams they are :lol: :lol:
