Really like the head turn and the exposure of the blacks.Shame we cant see the lower left leg and foot.

This is one of your best shots!.
Love the body position and head angle.
Terrific perch, excellent IQ.
I didn't even notice the hidden leg until I read Joe's comment.
My only suggestion to improve this lovely image would be to clone out that lone stray bright grass in RLC and that little vertical line in the Bg in front of bill.
Well done Stuart! This is one for the wall!

What an excellent BG!! I love the striations created by the oof palm leaves. Great pose by the toucan, and such vivid colours throughout. I agree cloning out the bright stray grass below would be a great idea, and perhaps slightly darkening the leaf near the tail.

Striking looking bird, well captured.

[Grace Scalzo]

Excellent! Love the background as it puts the bird in its habitat. Well done.
