Joe:

Excellent detail in the well exposed whites. Head position is great for a preening pose (parallel to the sensor). Amazingly soft light for Florida!

I would give it a bit more room to breath on top and sides.

Cheers

Fabulous feather detail focus Joseph and on such a big bird you've done a great job to capture a good DOF ---and I love the soft colours.

Excellent detail in the well exposed whites the eye and the catch light is very much prominent in the frame .... love the exposer here...
