Cathy- Oh wow girl, I wish I had a lense that could get that kind of definitions and sharpness from that distance. I love the pov of the shot and the way you all most right under the bird. Its gorgeous colors and percise details are extraordinary. I love the setting to, up on that branch and then the beautiful colors of the background just add so much to the picture. Perfect lighting and love how you composed it. A work of beauty my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #8657851
