The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
An amazing animal and a fantastic capture by you. The branch with the ferns in the background looks great too, as is the framing. Well done.

What an amazingly colorful little birdie. I wish I could see one of these.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I love this shot and that you cropped it in only made it better. 10 from me in the voting booth...amazing colors on this bird.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Fabulous shot, great composition and subject sharpness, but I find the thin blue line a little distracting. If I had my choice, I think I would let the colors vignette into the border. I know -- picky, picky, picky, however, crisp line against the soft focus of the background pulled my eye away from the beautiful subject.
