Just amazing how it pops! Sharpness, background, composition and head turn are just stunning. JR

Great job, Ryan. Lovely soft light, superb plumage detail shown of well by the dorsal view - head angle spot on for the pose and of course a lovely Giants BG. Well done.

[Ken Watkins]

Everything that needs to be said is above.

I am always amazed to think that you can find this bird in Europe.

This is just awesome Ryan. Superb banking pose, details and eye contact. Top shot!

[Bob Malbon]

Ryan, Great capture! The eye contact puts this image over the top!! bob

[Brian Zwiebel]

Ryan, The top side detail here is amazing! Exquisite lighting and a nice background. Good eye contact, in a perfect world a little more head turn would be good but it is fine as is.

Good Shooting!

Amazing set of feathers.
Love the wide spread wings and BG.
I would fix the tip on the seventh primary.

Beautiful is an understatement, love the way he is eyeing you;)
If i have to show someone the flight feather structure to someone, this would be the image for me instead of a bird guide...

Love the wing position, head angle, and bg. Nice light and good detail too. Well done.
