Cool-looking bird, good sharpness and I like the soft light. I wish for a less steep angle, could you have moved back a few steps? More eye contact would have been nice and I would give it more room at the bottom for the 'virtual' tail. Keep them coming and please post the complete techs.

Ditto about the steep shooting angle. This guy reminds me of a toucan. Thanks for sharing.
