hey sandy .. i saw this in voting and knew it was yours coz of the one you put in the side challenge .. its a stunning photograph .. i'm amazed that you can photograph one of these birds and get such a great result .. they move so quickly i've heard ..
i actually preferred the photograph you put in the side challenge, and wondered why you entered this one here ... i'm thinking it could'v been because the bird's beak was partly obscured by the flower in the other one?? ... i could be wrong .. well i probably am !!! .. its often a very hard call trying to decide which photograph to put in a challenge .. wondering which one will appeal to those nitpicking voters .. lol lol !!.. :)
Your title made me smile and it fits the challenge. For me, the bright white blurred areas of the background are distracting, but I do like the green areas.
hehe- I almost entered this challenge-and was going to put in a title of a big white bird with its wings splayed out etc- (great minds think alike huh?) this is a -beatiful whimsical capture! I love how the wings almost seem translucent! :) lovely image! (high score) :)
