D2X, 600, ISO 250, f8, 1/640.

Going through some old files and found this one.
I removed a couple of sticks at the bottom of the frame.

Really like the pose and eye contact Alan. Good sharpness. Image looks a little bright on my laptop. I kind of like the beaten-up plumage too.

Alan:


An oldie, but a goodie, as they say. Good points by Doug. I find the head angle really gives him an imperious look.

Well exposed.

Cheers

Alan, this is stunning. HA is perfect as it shows off the bill perfectly. Perfectly cropped/composed.

Another image up to your usual standard Alan. Great clarity and detail with the unique bill showing well.

Lovely eye contact and clarity. The pose is also really nice, like the show of feet and BG. Stunning image.

[Nate Chappell]

Awesome pose, I'd darken the image a bit as well. :cool:
