Ohhhhhh my goodness Paul!! What an outstanding photo of this bird. By the looks of his beak, he must be pretty old too. I love the colours of course. And the way you got all the feathers so close up. And look at those eyelashes!! How wonderful birds are! Those amazing markings and colours and the 'proud' way he appears! You even got the cloud formations perfectly to surround his look! I am really enjoying your creations. Different and very beautiful. Thank you my dear friend. Verena
