Beautiful shot and colors. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get shots of them like this in the wild - sigh!

Thank you for the comments. I have to admit, she made it easy with such a photogenic bunch of feathers. This shot makes me think of a masquerade ball!

Chris, such an intriguing face on these, the shallow DOF is nice, the colors have a nice glow, my only thought is that I would have liked to get just a peek of the other eye showing. Very nicely done, a beauty!

Full of impact and intrigue, can almost feel its inquisitive gaze, excellent angle and the controlled DOF works well too, super shot.
