    You've created a beautiful portrait, I like the curve of his neck and the wonderful details in the feathers and face.

    Excellent. This is about as good as it gets for portraits. Notice the perfect head angle!

    Amazingly sharp Kiran, with superb detail. I remember you commenting on my yellow billed stork, and remarking you have these guys. Congrats on an outstanding image.

    Love the detail and the colour here Kiran. I agree this is a super portrait.
    The bird looks similar the the yellow billed stork we get here.
