Its almost amazing how well the background mimics the bird... green below to match the green feathers, yellow top left to match the wing with the light shining through the feathers, blues top right to match the beak... Magical!
Not sure if the extreme highlights are blown or not but they are a little distracting

I think this might be too neon green for some people, but I am a huge fan! I tend to adore subtle bokeh backgrounds anyways, and I just love how the colors shift from green to blue to yellow in this one. Great shot 8
