Taken this dull morning of this very colourful bird, certainly brightened the day for me of one my favourite birds

canon 1D3
focal length 300mm
F2.8, 1/1000, iso 400

hope you like it as much as I do

Excellent shot- The subject is nice and well depicted, but IMO the best thing of this image is the background, with the flowers at two different planes, producing a strong 3D sense of space- My congrats, Fabio

One of your best Jeff. Very well done.

I would shave some off the bottom to get away from the square crop.

Cheers
