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 :clap

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

What kind of cologne were you wearing, Richard?

This is a come hither look if I ever saw one! :rofl\
