Hi Ella! Wow he really dosn't look happy at all! Great composition and your focus is perfect. Love the roses as well. I just can't seem to get the exposure right on them. Oh Well it's good that you did, so I can see them anyway.
Thanks for Sharing these

He may not be a happy bird but certainly a lovely one and the second one is so colourful, and the roses are gorgeous and nice detail. This is a lovely set of captures Angella.

No kidding!! If looks could kill you'd have been stone dead on the spot. Excellent capture!

Hi Angella, another set of great photos. First one looks like he's having a mad feather day. lol. I love the colours of the second one and the roses are beautiful. I warn you now, when my roses are out in flower you will see plenty of them here. I just love seeing photos of roses.

Angelb,
I have a ton more rose photos.....I have been very critical of my photos after seeing some of the ones everyone else gets....I appreciate people being honest....thanks.

The second bird is a lilac breasted roller - stunning bird and a reminder of the african bush.

(not to be confused with the red breasted mattress thrasher )
