it's a handsome bird and one we don't see often. I wish the sun was directly behind you and details seem a bit coarse. TFS

Lovely image. Good composition and I like the windblown crest'
I see a bit of a magenta cast.

With the light angle as it is a better HA would have lit the face nicely. IQ-wise it looks like a big crop, but I like the bill tilted upwards, as well as the flared feathers along the back of the head and neck.

Real nice shot. I really like the background and great comp. I agree with Daniel IQ is lacking.
Well done.

I think all the relevant comments have been made, but thank you for showing. It is a magnificent bird - I believe the heaviest bird still capable of flight, although it does require a long runway for take off!
