    Wicked handsome bird. With it angled a way from you a bit, a look back head turn would have been nice. The BKGRis problematically distracting... There seems to be a big yellow cast... Be right back.

    Magnificent species. Re-post looks very good. BG is a bit distracting, but not enough to pass this up.

    Not bad but there are tell-tale repeating clone patterns and smudging in the area in front of the bird's breast and belly. Using the Patch Tool for such work is usually much better....

    Again, your efforts are appreciated. Using the Patch Tool is better and faster :)
