    Super nice vegetation and colors. Well designed image. Was flash used or it is full natural light?

    A beautiful perch you have there. Glad you included the greenery at the bottom. Excellent pose from the Quail.

    This is truly beautiful Alan. The colours on the quail and the perch are outstanding. I love the way the bird is perched on the flower of the plant. Cool stuff, well done.

    Simply beautiful capture, Alan. Like that you kept this great looking quail relatively small in the composition. Well done.

    I LOVE how it's perching on the flower.

    Masterfully done Alan!

    What a terrific image never seen anything like it! Given the size of those spines I am not surprised he landed on a flower head!
