This is a photo that must be seen large. The bird is beautiful and the background equally so. Having the wings raised imparts a sense of action and also allows the underside coloration to be seen. Techs are spot on. Richard

Interesting pose. The way the colors of the bird match the background perfectly is quite remarkable.
