Taken at a small nature reserve here in Swaziland where there are a few breeding colonies.
50D/EF500f4 1/2000 @ f7.1 iso400 EC-0.33 Shutter priority. Cropped and removed some BG twigs.
C&C most welcome.

Great pose and eye contact. Good detail in both whites and blacks. I might sharpen a tad more.

Hi Pieter, well timed to capture the wing stretch, and you have exposed the colours very well. Im glad 'your' colony is giving you results.

Lovely wing spread here Piter and I like that you can see the right wing or tail through the left one...Not your usual IQ though...Head looks a touch blurry

Thanks for looking and for the feedback Doug, Stu and Dumay, much appreciated.
You are right Dumay focus point was not on the head.
Doug I am allways a little wary of oversharpening and herewith a repost with a bit more sharpening. Would appreciate feedback.

Gorgeous bird, angle not optimal, repost is better though the head may be a bit too crunchy now. I noticed a ghost of a twig in the original below the left wing; in the repost, you finished cleaning it out.

Thanks Craig for the feedback, "head may be a bit too crunchy" - my feeling as well.
