Hola Juan,
Muy buena la foto del pico de plata!
Tienes razón, merece la pena mostrar esta belleza, el rojo de sus plumas es muy intenso, y hace un excelente contraste con lo claro del pico.
Me gusta mucho el punto de vista y la composición.
Las hojas iluminadas de la rama enmarcan de alguna manera al pájaro.
Felicitaciones y gracias por compartir la foto.
Un gran saludo,
JM
Hello Juan,
Truly obliged for your visit and kind comment on one of my recent pictures.
This Silver Beaked bird is very good looking, indeed.
I can see you were slightly handicapped in not having the entire bird in view. All the same, the partial image succeeds in giving a fair impression of this bird's great beauty.
BTW, what is that white patch along the beak of the bird? I am a bit mystified about it because it does not look like a part of the bird's plumage to me.
Regards,
Ram
