The colors really light up the bird.
Beautiful - love the rich color, the lighting & the overall composition - outstanding...
The strength in that beak is amazing. Wonderful color, lighting and detail!
Beautiful capture , Christo !
He looks rather nice with the splash of red on his wing, we have starlings but they are more speckled than this chap and no red on them. This is a wonderful capture with super lighting.
The proportions are perfect.
Amazing capture and detail
You do some nice work with birds!
