    Richard, What a beautiful bird and your shots of it are stunning. It looks more like a work of art than a photograph at a zoo. The combination of colors is amazing. Thanks for sharing these beautiful captures.. clap.gifclap.gif

    Love the first one. Great use of light and shade to darken the background and make your subject pop out of the picture.
