Frank, you made the right choice.The subtle lighting does let this Bird of Paradise display its colors to full advantage. The details and clarity are superb as well. You've inspired me to search again for a perfect Bird of Paradise to photograph. Yours qualifies as the standard to shoot for.
Enjoy your day, my friend. #11466925
