A venerable, stately bird. SH and EXP perfect with enough d-o-f to cover the neck. With the bird itself angled well toward us, I love the head angle here with the lower part of the bird's face tucked in behind the bent neck. The head and bill angle are just this side of square to the back of the camera which is perfect for this pose. a
