Oh Paul this is so beautiful! He looks almost like a mixture of a pheasant and a tiger..heehee..with those fancy colours. But a most awesome sight that must have been, to see this little guy. Such flaming colour..and I'm so happy you took his portrait, but then you are a great photographer...and you had to take such a lovely shot...hugs to ya my friend..verena
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
Give it up Paul, this is a fake bird. I can't believe the head dress on this bird, and the colors and clarity are as good as it gets. Amazing photo and faved.
What colorful character you have captured for us Paul!! All of the feathers are neatly in place and this pheasant gave you his 'best' side for the photo shoot.......thank you for bringing us this beautiful bird to admire and "ohhhh and awww" over. Very tasteful and well done my friend..as usual!! :=)
