    Vivaldo, this is a dream of a shot. Magnificent light, low angle, and I love the colors and the layers in the background, and that strip of vegetation. Just too good!

    Beautiful image.
    Just love the nice soft, warm light.
    Excellent elegant pose, terrific comp, and great shooting angle.
    Very well done.

    Very sweet light. Nice pose and the exposure looks dead on.

    An absolute dream shot, Vivaldo. I stared at this for a long long time and agree with all the accolades above.
    A truly wonderful image!

    Absolutely gorgeous!
    Love the way the extreme low angle accentuates the height of the bird ... killer stuff all around as noted above!

    WOW! This is simply a stunning shot Vivaldo! Everything has come together in this - pose, lighting, B/g, low angle - and the bird just pops! Great work,
    Cheers, Greg

    The extra low angle gives this bird even longer legs than it normally seems, the epitome of elegance, the light is beautiful as are the soft color tones. I have never, and likely will never see one of these birds so cannot judge what they really look like, but I wonder if perhaps the head/eye is a little pale, is the light on the day or natural, but I can hardly see the eye

    Thanks everyone for great comments it's appreciated Phil I also wish the eye to be more visible. I think this is due to downsizing for the web, the bigger raw file show a lot more detail.
