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!!! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Thank you Romy. The way you described the picture, one can't help but feel ecstatic. Mabuhay.
