What a great shot here Eileen. The pose is perfect for showing off those beautiful wing colors. The sheen on the feathers is very enhancing and your focus is tin point sharp. I like everything about this one. Kudos ~ Steve

Nice soft background and sharp

Another perfect capture! Beautiful bird, wonderful clear view, good details easily seen throughout, nice catch light in his eye! That bright orange with yellow patch is just striking! Very well presented against the clear background. Beautiful work!
