    Finally got around to finishing postprocessing on this one.
    Required lots of bill cleanup work.

    Looking forward to your comments and critiques !

    Wow Mike, an absolute beauty. You've held the whites perfectly and I like the comp, sharpness and BG. For me the bird is a little tight on top but there's not much to it.

    Great angle, light and details. The beige part of the BG is a bit distracting but I would have been happy to see this beautiful bird.
