    Troy, this time the crop does not work for me, it seems unbalanced, very much left heavy and I wish for more of the crown to show.
    Kudos for trying some different though :)

    SH, good EXP, and a killer ruby eye. A VERT or a SQ that would include the complete set of white feathers on the head would have worked well here....

    Thank you.
    I know this is against the rule of 3rd. :) Was trying something different.
    I was overwhelmed by Gatorland, my first trip there, certainly will not be the last.

    Thank you Arthur, I cropped a bit off top, was paying too much attention to the face and beak and forgot about the crown.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
