Excellent pose and background.

[Gerald Kelberg]

Hey, that is really nice Dumay!

The detail of the fine feathers is all there without looking as though it has been sharpened and the bright colours of the eye and beak look contrast beautifully with the earth tones.

The perch is also pretty cool!

Very nice eye ring and colour combination. I would be very happy to see this bird, TFS!

Killer calling pose and gotta love that "perch." Your BG is out of this world.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty cool bird! I love the image design, and here is one case where I'm OK with the head angled away. Fantastic BG! I know this should probably be an ox as the perch...is it?

Thanks for the comments folks...Daniel it's actually a White Rhino. They also help control the ecto-parasites on these giants.

That is really something for those who are ambitious about getting just the right perch!

Brilliant!

I like the perch, sweet BG and the open beak and eye colours really stand out. Excellent image Dumay.
