Nice capture of the magpie , I especially like the long tail, I really like these birds , they are comical to observe.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct , the colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

an excellent close up of this magpie perched on your garden fence while looking at both your garden and the neighbour's one;
good exposition for the very dark blue feathers in addition to the black and white ones;

Yes,. Indeed. Wonder why no females are around him!:)Like you see in Hollywood!:) The snap has come out very well. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Sesha,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this handsome Magpie. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between the male & female. The male is usually larger but unless you see the two side by side the difference is invisible.

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a good look at that lovely bird. Like it's wings and tail. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
