    Very nice portrait of this one, Robert. The BG nicely complements the feather colors. I especially like the ruddy feathers at the base of the crown cluster.

    Beautiful profile Robert. Full of feather detail and color. Must have been pretty close to this elusive bird. Well done..

    Good details, nice colours, and OK comp (although I wouldn't mind a tad more shoulder). BG looks good, and the extension you've added is seamless...good work. Have you thought of toning down the darker area behind the bill tip?

    Hi Robert, lots of feather detail to look at, and love the alert pose. Im going to go opposite Dan, and my comp would be to come up from the bottom eliminating the shoulder, and a little off the left. Great BG.

    That is a freaky looking bird!
    Nice close up and detail, getting close to this species is a challenge,
    nice work.

    Thanks to all for all the comments.
    Dan - this is pretty much full frame. This guy/gal came up to about 4ft from me. That's why I had to canvas in front.
