Nice! I like this, and I like these birds. Amazing how they blend in to habitat, nice BG
will be after these in Portugal in May! tfs

I love the perch, background, sharpness, and open beak pose. A head angle where the bird was looking more towards you would make this a stronger image in my opinion.

[Morkel Erasmus]

lovely exposure and details here
I too would have liked to see a tad more head-turn towards the viewer...

Nice BG and I like the diagonal line created by the ground.Nice and sharp,

Lovely photo and not sure if they always have crest up or not, but this certainly looks good. Complimentary bg and good job on light angle.

Love the raised crest! Sharp and on a very nice setting. I agree a little head turn towards you would improve this image.
