super cool, you got all the colors to pop really well here with the dark background and lighting.

Beautiful plumage Glenn! The dark areas of the bird look like they might benefit from a contrast boost. I also took the liberty of removing the stick in this repost. Is this version an improvement or not?

[Daniel Cadieux]

To me the biggest improvement in Doug's repost is the stick removal as it really looked out of place. I agree this is a handsome species...lucky you can get close to one!

Very nice and neat, love the detail and exposure, colours are great too, a bit cetnered IMO, but nice! Congratulaitons!
