Wicked bird. Love the color scheme and the raised crest. The eye could use a bit of work and the face could ue a bit more sharpening.

Beautiful bird, great eye contact and exposure control. I agree regarding a bit more sharpening and might clone out the grass touching the back of the head. Thanks for sharing!
Well captured Jim. Without being too picky, it is a shame you weren't able to get more detail in camera and it looks like to really needed a tripod to get some more dof. Mate next time you want one of these, drop by I'll take up th Noosa northshore. After we were finished we could slip into Noosa for a cuppa. All the best mate ;-)) Great effort
