    From the Ali Farm this past weekend. Had more of these in breeding plumage than at any other time I can remember. Still just as hard to find in the open.

    Comments welcome and much appreciated

    I like it...very "in-your-face". I like the groove running down the neck, very cool! The eye seems softer than the area between the nostril and the eye?

    Great open mouth pose. I agree the eye looks just a tad softer than the area just in front, but not so much as to detract.

    Cool pose and love those breeding colors, Alfred. Great detail in the whites. I'm thinking I'd like to see just a bit more room on the right to fit in all of the head, but also like it as presented.

    Hey Al,

    Killer composition and behavior. I wish the eyes were more in focus but that's about it for me.

    Hi Al - magic I love it.

    Seeing all these great shots from the Ali Farm is making me think that I might have to organise a trip to florida this time next year.

    Great timing Alfred and I love the action you captured. Great to see the beautiful mating colors too.

    Oh yeah!!!! I love the expression in the face and the soft light. Wonderfull skin tones. Would love to see the bill tip in focus but is a minor detail. Al I really like this one a lot!
