I just finished preparing and posting another one of my oldies when I noticed this one of yours. Another beauty Sandy, I like the spread tail and wings pose, and the colors of this bird.

Very attractive flight pose Sandy. Good dof on the subject. The background is colorful indeed.

A very lovely flight pose Sandy. Nice eye contact and head angle. The specks of pollen add interest.Cute view of the tiny feet too

great pose and detail, Sandy. The background looks smooth enough to be a painting.

Really like the flight pose Sandy with the slightly twisted tail and nice head turn.
