beautifully exposed Ken. You've managed ot capture all its splendid colours very well. A small head turn would be the cream.

A wild looking bird, Ken. Nice job on it. I like the perch and the bg looks interesting.

Those are some colors, Ken. Another bird I never knew existed. I really like the perch and great job on the techs. A little more direct eye contact would be nice, but I like this as is too. :toast:
