this picture is all about bending sunlight....
The bird’s wing acts as a diffraction grating .....
a surface structure with a repeating pattern of ridges or slits......
The structure causes the incoming light rays to spread out... bend....and split.....
into spectral colors..... producing this shimmering rainbow effect....
