Beautiful bird, I don't think I have seen this species before. I like the perch, angle and eye contact, would give it a bit more room top and bottom and tone down the perch a bit. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!
A loverly bird, a nice repost by Axel, a great job of EXP control and of revealing the detail in the blacks. The size of the thorns somewhat overpowers the bird.
