Hi Ron,
You caught this one on all its splendour!
I like specially the light and transparencies got on the wings, that produces so rich colour tones.
The bunch of flowers at the top compensates and balances the presence of the wide open wings.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Masterful closup Dear Luciano! It's great to see them from so close a distance. Wonderful shot and fantastic details.

Hola Hernán,
Que bueno que estés por aca, con esta imagen plena de tonos verdes y amarilllos.
Realmente parece un ejemplo de mimestismo, al menos gracias a la luz y fondo que tenias en este momento.
Excelente el momento captado mientras se alimenta.
Buen trabajo y gracias por compartirlo.
Un gran saludo,
JM

Dear Horia,
a very beautiful, emotiononally touching posting.
A humble scene, nothing spectacular, nothing but a pleasure to the eyes and the soul. Seeing the waters slowly passing by in your picture - perfectly achieved by very long exposure - is a very comforting brake, and a wise advise to slow down and finding the balance.
It's exactly the advice to go out of town, enjoy the silence and fresh air that is helpful to many of us.
Thank you for this refreshing, peaceful and wise contribution. With all my best wishes,
Peter

P.S.: I will take a several weeks' or maybe months' break from TN from today. Not for any reasons of discomfort there, it is a very fine virtual community. Just for reasons of concentrating on a few other things also very important for me. Including going out into nature as much as possible. Looking forward to return after that.

Hello Pekka,
These are for sure may favorites birds so far, and how no come and view this picture.
I like the close approach and pose got, in which we can appreciate all the rich colours and patterns at the head.
Well done and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM
