A beautiful bird and an equally beautiful capture of it Stanley. Nice work buddy.
 
Omg this could not be any more perfect the colour and detail of this beautiful precious one is perfect the background perfect so we focus on the bird and the way you captured the Macaw perched on that amazing moss covered branch just breath taking thank you.
 
Lol!! He must have done a stint in the Ecuadorian Army!! Terrific find & a superb capture of this beauty in all its colorful regalia, Stanley!! Wonder how much more colorful he must look when seen from side or top!!
 
Hup, two, three, four...we love this fab Macaw..LoL! I wonder how it got it's name?

Great bird and shot Stanley!
 
Lovely bird Stanley. Looks like incredibly strong light, so well done on the technical wizardry side...! Excellent colour, detail and light!
