The colors are visually stunning. Purple flowers in background?

I love your ducks and spoonbills but should post more of the little birds as well......especially when you get that kind of pose and BG. Gorgeous colors. I like the way you have reduced the artificial perch.....hardly noticed it.

This is beautiful. Those BG colors are awesome. The only thing I could think to change would be to have the transition from purple to orange somewhere other than right across the neck.

Still, ,Id love to have an image like this.

Hey KK, high impact for sure. So happy to see you around, miss you, you know :)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great exposure control and details. I'm interested, too, what the BG is.

Thanks all for your comments!
It's flowers in the bg. As I said this was captured at a local park.

[Arthur Morris]

What? No duck? No shorebird???? Could it really be a KK image? Love the bird and the BKGR colors but agree with Farmer Jim on the transition line... Good job on the head turn; head could be a bit brighter.

later and love, artie

Hi KK,

I love the bg in this image.
