Hi Andreas, good choice of comp, and I like the pose, HA, and DOF. Overall, the feather detail is sharp, and I do like the BG too. A favourite species of mine that I missed on my recent Kruger Trip a few weeks ago.

Absolutely great looking bird and you did a great job portraying him. The perch is awesome as is the angle. Colors all work well together.
