Certainly telling you a thing or two, hopefully polite!
Interesting angle again and I would guess a difficult bird to expose well, don't know it so can't judge.

hi John, Good job with tough photography.

congratulations

These guys are so overlooked, but so much fun! I love the head-on pose here. To me it seems like the epaulettes are not "deep" red enough and have a somewhat desaturated look to them...unless it was this way in real life?

Right on the money. Knew I should have bumped them up some more.
