One of my fave birds. They get a bad rep for being noisy, but I just love their characteristics. You have done a good job in capturing the colours here, which is very pleasing. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much , the first time I saw one close up and in the light I was blown away by their true colors.
Comment from AndreThreeThou


Great ethereal effect with the overall ambience. I like how this effect is combined with the textures of the bird that are retained in this image. It's really cool how seeing an image like this that shows me the intricacies of color and pattern that some creatures have that I don't really think about when I see them on a daily basis.

OMG! Some artist must have painted her feathers in exotic flashy colours. What a wonderful creation of God. This is an amazing shot that does justice to the beautiful bird,. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Pat, you only see these colors when the sun is shining just right on a starling. You captured this starling just right with the lighting. The sharp focus lets us really see the feathers. The shot is one of the most beautiful I've sen of starling. Awesome capture Pat! Enjoy your six stars! :o) Nancy

Comment from Monica Morrell


Amazing captured image of this gorgeous starling. If anyone could find beautiful color in what we thought was a black bird it is YOU! This is a spectacular image. Excellent colors. The starling stands tall and proud against the muted background. Excellent focus. Sharp and amazing detail. You have done it again with your fantastic photography!

Comment from Zilyram


They are considered a pest here but can't deny they are beautiful little birds when you see the colors.
You have captured this one perfectly the lighting allowing the colors of his plumage to stand out against the brown background.
Focus on the eye is tack sharp and your white balance and exposure are spot on.
Thanks for sharing.

Pat,
A beautiful picture of this Starling with the iridescence on it plumage glowing in the light falling on it. While sparkling in it's eye & highlighting it's long yellow sharply pointed beakl.
Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
