One from a few weeks ago. This is a male (on the right) and a juvenile that is in the process of moulting into it's adult plumage. The size difference between the birds is also interesting. Thanks for looking, Greg.

Beautiful shot Greg, the explosion of colors is a party to my eyes. Excellent framing, the flowering perch extending
out of the frame is lovely and the details on these gorgeous birds are superb.

Wow! Really great. Color and subject matter are super. Very well done.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph

Nice Image! I'd love to see this at a much lower ISO as the color reciprocity is "going south" here. But still very nice!
