ISO, what high ISO!, says Elsa Great shots. That first one, especially, is truly special. Nicely done.

 

[Micky]

Simply beautiful.

Wow. That first shot is really striking. Yes you were pushing limits there. Well done.

That first shot is STUNNING! AMAZING! Nice work using NR. The second shot is very nice also, but might benefit from a bit of NR on the background.

It's very seldom one sees images here of the Paradise Flycatcher, and to get such a perfect, sweet image of an adult and chick in the nest is awesome. Well done, Elsa!

Thanks Rassie. Difficult to see - never-mind photograph- I hear it often around my house- never see it

Great shots. And that nest shot at 14400 ISO is simply amazing. Well done!

 

[AlanB313]

Really nice composition on the first shot but both are stunning! Amazing to see. If the 2nd one is just "still colouring up", I'd love to see it in full regalia! Thanks for posting.

OMG! Spectacular! Well done.
