Hi Roy I like it a lot, excellent feel !!

Would crop some from the back of the bird, clean the extra catchlights and desaturate the red crest just a bit ... don't be afraid to increase the ISO, you did well holding steady but its always dangerous ... noise you could reduce but not blur !!!

[Roy Priest]

Alf, thanks for the suggestions. I have actually tried higher ISO's:D but I'll have to do more.

A nice close up pose Roy,
I like it, agree on the double catch light and tighter crop...looking forward to your next one...well done...:):cool:
