A lovely pose and a very stately looking bird.

It is good to see these very well executed high ISO shots.

Good for you to get nice and close.

Very nice, love the habitat, pose of the subject, and beautiful lighting conditions. I wouldn't mind a bit more room above, but a very strong "portrait" image. I like it alot.

Sweet light, great pose, and super sharpness. Do agree that I'd like a bit more canvas up top. Looking forward to our trip!

Thanks guys, originally it had more canvas but to keep 3 : 2 AR the bird would become too centered, that's why I chose this crop.
