    This guy gave me very little time, just enough to fire off a few frames before flying off.

    Apologies in not replying to my previous posting, I have been away.

    Good capure! Sharp where it needs to be. The iridescence on the neck is beautiful.

    Steve, absolutely beautiful as always. On the one hand, I like the way the grasses frame the object. On the other, I wonder what it might look like if you cloned out the two tallest blades of grass the the birds right. Just a question, not sure it is better. Love the colors.
