Gang-gang Cockatoo (female)

[Leo Berzins]

The female Gang-gang Cockatoos lack the bright red head of the male but they do have wonderful barred markings underneath as shown here.

Beautiful bird, great behavior, light and details. The setting is a bit busy but it might be difficult to get them out in the open.

[Tony Whitehead]

Well caught, Leo. That red berry in the bill really makes it. Lovely feather textures. I might try a version trying to blur out the BG a bit more and maybe reducing the greens a little

[Rob Drummond]

Really nice Leo. Like the the detail in the thistle and the red berries stand out well.

cheers Rob
