    This is another image I captured at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida last Friday morning. The rookery and boardwalk allows one to get up close and personal to these beautiful creatures.

    Joe:

    Amazing breeding colors. Interesting turquoise hue, as I have generally seen them a bit more green/yellow.
    I have only been to Gatorland once, but it is a very interesting place for sure.

    Pano crop clearly the way to go here. I might consider a little more room on each side, just personal taste.

    Cheers

    Exposure is perfect. Super detail, more room on both sides IMO.

    Thank you Randy and Glenn for viewing and offering suggestions to improve the image. I agree more room of both sides of the bird. Here is a RP.

    Great portrait, Joseph. Nice details well exposed whites and nice colors. The blue around the eye is very striking.

    I like the sharpness, details, BG and exposure. I like the repost better but would add a bit more in front of the beak and take a little off behind the head. Nice image Joe.

    I love close ups. And this is wonderful. I prefer the repost. More room works better.
