Hello Ralf,
What a splendid bird that I can't recall having seen before! Even though part of the tail is cut off it is a very sharp profile of this bird in its bright plumage. The stony background makes it stand out very nicely.
Many thanks and ha det jättebra i Spanien! Ulla

An extremely beautiful bird from Tanzania, Ralf. You have taken a clever shot from a perspective that shows its magnificent colours and features very effectively. I like the plumage of this bird a lot.
TFS and regards.

And here we have another interesting and firstly seen by me species. Very colourful, presented from good POV, with good DOF and details. And that is really all what I need to feel good watching picture! :>

hello Ralf,
This Purple Grenadier (what a wonderful name!)has an extraordinary plumage. Amazing colours and a red eye also. I like its pose which allows to see even the spots of its front part. Thanks also for the note.
