EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Cyril Laubscher from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing side view of a Violet-Backed Starling. Perched gracefully on a branch, the starling's head is beautifully showcased in profile, highlighting its stunning features. This image showcases the fascinating concept of sexual dimorphism within bird species. The male Violet-Backed Starling boasts an exquisite glittering color palette, resembling an amethyst gemstone come to life. Its iridescent plumage shimmers with shades of deep purples and blues, creating a truly enchanting sight. Aptly referred to as the "living jewel" this starling stands out amongst its feathered counterparts. Belonging to the gregarious Sturnidae family, these birds are known for their social nature and often form large flocks. This particular individual seems poised and confident as it perches on the branch, exuding elegance and grace. Cyril Laubscher's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this magnificent creature. With its vibrant colors and striking pose frozen in time, this print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool for those fascinated by avian wonders.
