This bird is beautifully posed, the feather details are wonderful and the faded backdrop is delightful, Doux.

Exquisite composition!
 
You caught this beauty just right Doux. A wonderful colourful capture, well done.

I'd much rather see them in this environment rather than a cage.

A gorgeous image of this beautiful Waxbill Duha!
