jeweled feathers caught
in reflected mist—cloistered
chiaroscuro
This is another brightly colored resident of the South American cloud forest, the grey-breasted mountain toucan. As with all inhabitants of the world’s cloud forests, they are a threatened species because of habitat loss.
Drawn with neocolors.

Thanks Diana. The cloud forest looks like a magical place. Of course we do seem to be unable to consider the consequences of destroying the environment everywhere.
