Hallo Luis
What a beautiful display and surprise of fascinating colours and details you have captured here. I have never seen a bird with such striking feathers in its tailpiece and I find it very exceptional, but most of all unique. This is indeed a beauty and I cannot let it pass without adding it to my personal selection of favourites. Coming back to the feathers again, I must highlight the beauty of it and that it reminds me of a fan the elegant ladies use to cool them down. The blink caught in the eye is an additional bonus and I must praise you for the end result. Best wishes for you and your loved ones over this Christmas period.
Best regards.
Anna
hi Luis
This is a rare specie to be found and you have done well in capturing the color from the under body.
A nice view of the bird from this POV to see the full body length from below, including the tail and with a superb head tilt. Even the eye catchlight is visible.
tfs, bill
