Know matter how often I see these beauties, I always have to photograph them since their beaty is so breathtaking as is their song.

Gorgeous shot Clifford. This kind of bird easily show off with its colours and you made a great capture. Agree with Heather about that you frame it wide to include the beautyful surrounding. Appreciate the split between the foreground and the background. Great work.

Very nice composition, tones and detail on this gorgeous fellow, Clifford. He stands out beautifully on his precarious perch against the beauty of his surroundings.
