Hi !! all a lot of nice photos on here now. This is a old photo I

Don,

How in the heck did you get the bird to sit still while ypu painted all those colors on him?  :)

It does seem amazing how the male bird gets so conspicuous that a hawk might see him, doesn't it?  Of course, it is a female bird whose attention he wants to attract.  

A very nice capture of an amazing sight of nature.

Regards,

Jerry

Such rich, beautiful colours - well done!  The focus and depth of field could have been better but congrats on the composition, which shows off the bird's fabulous plumage to perfection.  Regards, Margo.
