Thanks much for the invite. Your group looks interesting (I joined), but this is an indoor image (in a conservatory). I certainly have other images that I can contribute.

What fun to get this close to this gorgeous bird; perfect choice of background to make it really eye catching! I’ve saved a note to find the Conservatory if I ever get to Vancouver BC!
frostwhiteraven replied
Thanks much. The conservatory is a great place for these kinds of shots in part because of the beautiful natural lighting and also ample opportunity to try out many different-colored backgrounds. An added bonus is that many different birds reside there, some of them quite striking.
