Great capture, Kay and beautiful bird. #10286954frank w. degenhardt August 23, 2012
This is one fascinating bird. It's name may give a reason he looks like he is socking in the rays of the sun. You did a most beautiful job with capturing its colors and its marvelous features with this lighting. That is some work girl. Gorgeous job my friend. #10287365Tammy Espino August 23, 2012
