The pose is unusual, I do wish for a slightly better HA. That is a great feeling when the sun pops through! Well done mate. :)
I want say , I am staring at this image for last 15 mins and unable to find any words.

Very nice light Ryan, it is a pity you dont see more of the wings but it is still an interesting pose.
Just watch the halo starting to show. (Only just)
You see the beard and eye colour very well in this image.
This is amazing capture

I did not look for this long but agree with the sentiments entirely!Originally Posted by Harshad Barve
I would go with Harshad Ryan..
amazed with the angle. this works for me though it has little going away direction but the position of bird is very well captured.. congrats man.
Beautiful one, loved the details and Angle, the head facing a little more towards you would have made it a killer, still a great image, congrats...
Hey Ryan, now this is an angle not normally captured or posted. I works well, and agree with Dave, that one can see more of the beard.
Excellent pose and super detail and colours. Nice one Ryan

Cool image. I love the bg and the light on the vody of the bird. I'm not to wild about the head angle and wing position.

Its an fantastic capture. The angle makes the bird look much smaller than its actual size. The eye is very captivating.
Fabulous shot Ryan. Dave is spot on re halo's but they are very minimal and do not detract from this outstanding shot. You have nailed this real good. Even the bg helps with the diagonals. On the money man!!!!!!!
the light fell just right for this one! HA mentioned but not a bit problem for me since this as a great pose and comp.
Many thanks for all the comments folks, much appreciated...
