Love the species Jim. Nice setting for these birds as well. This needs a bit of CCW rotation I think.

Amazing to see the difference between the two, I like that you can see some iridescent purple on the male, nice job in spotting this.

I like the colors and detail Jim. They are such hardly little guys, showing them with ice in the background is perfect! Good work catching some iridescence on the male's head.
