    Not a big fan of square crops. But I like this one.

    Don:

    Sharp, nicely exposed, great colors, DOF.

    They really do have a remarkable change in appearance when in breeding colors.

    Nice.

    They are quite spectacular, and you've portrayed this guy beautifully. Awesome colours, and the whites look just right. I imagine his bill was in better shape at one point, but I would take this any day!

    Very nice portrait, I love the exposure on whites and cool pose, inform lighting certainly helps with these guys!

    Beautiful, Don. Love the raised crest and lovely colors. I was there on Sunday too...guess we were too busy with the birds to connect! (I got lost in the moment there, so much to see and photograph)
