    Gorgeous image of a beautiful bird. I've never seen this one before, so it's especially interesting. I can't think of much to criticize here; great BG, sharp, beautiful light, pose, HA. Very well done Phil!

    I like the red crest!
    The image looks really good at ISO 2500 but I would still do another round of NR on the BG.
    I would also be tempted to clone out the entire diagonal branch if not against your ethics.
    I played with your JPEG and I hope you do not mind. Is there a bit of red in belly feathers or is that a cast?
    Really nice picture Phil,

    Hi and thanks Gail, the bit red in the belly feathers is natural, sometimes they also show green tinges here and there. I contemplated removing the bottom branch as you did, but opted out as I felt it looked a bit too unnatural with the branch suddenly thinning at the junction point

    Ha! Love the title, and it certainly suits this guy. Excellent quality for the high iso. Excellent bg as well.

    I prefer the perch as is in the OP...more complex and visually interesting than without the drop
    down branch. Really cool head plumage on this bird. Sharp where it's critical, but wish critical
    focus covered the entire bird and perch...low light conditions noted though....you did very well
    here.

    Awesome Phil - not many shots as good as this of a Gang Gang going around - they tend to always be too high up,
    Cheers, Greg
