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. #10287365

Thank you everyone. He was so beautiful. When his wings are open it shows all the beautiful colors. I didn't get one with them open. #10288103
