The creamy background, the wonderful pose, the unbelievable detail, all on a very colorful Philippine endemic, made this an easy choice for this week's featured bird photo. Big congrats, Ely.... keep them coming!!!  Thank you Romy. The way you described the picture, one can't help but feel ecstatic. Mabuhay. |
