Hi Oscar - very nice. Like the motion implied by the open beak, good color saturation, great details, and the high-key effect is stunning.
This is super!!!
Cheers
Gail
ps - there is a strange light line inside the lower mandible that you might want to clone out before you print this winner

Anytime I see darks exposed this well I am impressed. Exposure techs are solid and I love the purple/black sheen on the back. You know the colors are correct when this is displayed. Gail covered the rest - well done Oz :)

mighty fine OZ - exposure is spot on and love the high key.

Excellent details indeed, you even get the detail inside the beak. Love the high key and the pose with open bill look very good. Very well done.
