Fine portrait and the comp. is outstanding , as is the detail captured.

[Marina Scarr]

Stunning capture. Exposure and details very nice and BG even better. I have to say that some may wish the eye to be on a move even plane, but I LOVE the shadows of the bird's eyelashes on its eye. This adds something very special to this capture.

[Fabs Forns]

Love the pose, color, EXP and I also like the shadows in the iris. Coll!

[Bonnie Block]

Definitely a nice one. Great look--Super beak!!

[Danny J Brown]

Great job, Stuart. The comp and exposure are flawless and I love the way the bird's eyelashes go across the eye - very nice.

[Michael Zajac]

Stuart, Really great looking details and sharpness. I love your bird images, they are so varied.

[David Fletcher]

Another great shot Stu. Fabulous details and you have captured the inquisitive look perfectly with good details and iQ. The shadows on the eye add a nice touch.

Lovely BG and pose Stuart, with very nice detail. One of my favorite African birds to photograph ;)
