Found this in the aviary at the Virginia Aquarium and Science Center. It is a facility for rescuing birds who are injured and can no longer function in the wild. I fell in love with the colors, the sheen, and texture of his feathers. As a fly-tier, I have been using turkey feathers for a long time, but "living" feathers are truly amazing!!
The bird is spectacular in lots of different ways; I am posting a "portrait" in the "Eager to learn" section.
Olympus SP-570UZ, 92mm zoom. ISO 64, f/4.5, 1/80sec. Cloudy, gray skies, natural light only. Minimal cropping in PSE7, saturation, contrast, sharpness, fill light adjustments.
Thank you for looking, and comments always welcome!
