Taken back in November. Liked head turn and how the wind raised up the crest feathers. It's standing on a slight slope. Even though it was about 8am, light was a bit bright. ACR, CS5, cloning to clean up debris on sand and some dodge & burn on BG. NR, sharpening. Had been trying for some IF captures, so still had high shutter speed.

Hi Brendan, Good look back pose, and this is really sharp. I like how we can see the different layers of feathers, and the raised wind swept crest does add interest. Good complimentary BG too.
Really nice pose and head turn, Brendan! The high SS certainly didn't hurt you here, nice oof bg!
Very nice Brendan! Love the raised head feathers!
