D2X, 600, ISO 250, f8, 1/640.

Going through some old files and found this one.
I removed a couple of sticks at the bottom of the frame.

Really like the pose and eye contact Alan. Good sharpness. Image looks a little bright on my laptop. I kind of like the beaten-up plumage too.

Alan:


An oldie, but a goodie, as they say. Good points by Doug. I find the head angle really gives him an imperious look.

Well exposed.

Cheers

Alan, this is stunning. HA is perfect as it shows off the bill perfectly. Perfectly cropped/composed.

Another image up to your usual standard Alan. Great clarity and detail with the unique bill showing well.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Lovely eye contact and clarity. The pose is also really nice, like the show of feet and BG. Stunning image.

[Nate Chappell]

Awesome pose, I'd darken the image a bit as well. :cool:
