Spectacular bird Marc! I've never seen one before. Agree with your point about the BG in the URC. The whites look a little hot on the bird's upper left breast. And there's probably a little more detail in the blacks. Great eye contact and sharpness! Thanks for posting!

Beautiful pose and composition. I'd probably go with an inverse curve to reduce contrast. Keep them coming!

I agree with the previous comments, Marc, and find this a tad bright on my monitor.
