Gus, I am truly impressed by the colors in this picture. I have never seen anything like it. The bird almost appears to be looking over at you. Mother Nature continually leaves me in awe. Thank you for sharing. Marina

Beautiful Gus - love those BG colours.

Really nice Gus. Nice soft bg colours and while there is lots of detail in the bird it too is nice and soft looking. Really nice. Pretty good of the bird to give the nice wing wave too!
