Exquisite colors, a delicate texture, great eye contact, but it's that pose that really tops it off. A diva! ... "Take my picture and show the world how beautiful I am!" A fantastic photo in every respect. Not only congrats, but many thanks as well!

Many thanks to all for the nice comments. Yes, this individual was quite the avian "diva". It perched at eye level so close that I had to back up a ways to take the photo!
