For this one

Great shot of a cool species, Juan Carlos. I love the non-parallel perch and the spotlight effect.

Saludos,
Greg

Hi Juan! Stunning image of a most incredibly beautiful bird. The colors and patterns of it are eye watering! I really like how dark the rest of the frame is, with the dark green background and dark brown moss/lichen. It really makes the bird the star. Straight forward composition but a pleasing subject for sure ... nice!
