Stunning photo - great capture and what a result. Excellent gear and a damn good photographer and we get these images - TFS. Well done. Tim

What a great photo. I love the subtle colours and then the splash of bright yellow on the tail. The DOF is fantastic and it is nicely composed. I like the way the bird is looking over its shoulder at the photographer.
Great shot :)

Very nice, with a soft and smooth look to this photo. Makes me want to reach out and feel those downy feathers! -Jenn

Nice colors, contrast and composition of one of the most beautiful birds.

Excellent shot, the feather detail is superb and the colors are well caught. Your crop is perfect and allows one the greatest opportunity to view the detail.

Just perfekt!

You guys that take great bird frames like this on are pure artists. I have never tried this kind of shot and can only imagine that it must be very difficult.

Great shot.
