Beautiful Bill

 

[Callie]

Just love it when they are all plumes and the cere changes colour!

Thanks everyone. This is an older image that was re-processed with a better understanding of LR and PS.

Nice photo and re-processing. Looks great. Their plumage and the palm frawns go together like peas and carrots.

Super Shot!! Love Bird shot when they are sporting the mating plumage

 

[William (Bill) Anderson]

I agree; an ordinarily common and drab bird that really shines in the breeding plumage. Thanks

That's nice! We have a lot of them where I live, and a rookery nearby. I love to watch them.

Lovely shot with a great feel, feel it might look even better with less of a crop.

Love the breeze in the feathers.
