hi teunie, nice marabou! :-)
a not so pretty but interesting bird.
i like your tight cropping
you really see the details on the bald head
that way, although the whole bill on the photo
would be good, too.
well seen & captured,
thor.

Hello Teunie
Wow, if you took this any closer you would have been inside its brain. You are so sparingly with your uploads and then you hit us with a bomber like this. Great stuff. This is a fabulous shot with a very impressive POV.
Great composition, lovely colours, excellent DOF with superb details, very nice BG, and absolutely spot-on exposure with perfect contrast between whites and blacks.
Extraordinary work. TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Teunie,
Amazing detail in this. I like the tight crop, I think you could cropped even tighter, perhaps taking the sides off. The colours are excellent, very natural and very good exposure given all the bright white in the image. Great note too.
Best regards,
Adrian

Goedemorgen Teuni,
Deze vogel heeft u wel op het juiste moment gefotografeerd, met een scherpte waar iedere fotograaf zal van dromen, de kop en de bek zijn van gootte kwaliteit, de ogen en de witte veren daarrond zijn werkelijk mooi.
Groeten vrouw van John.

Ja Teuni,
Ik was erbij toen je hem nam. telkens weer naar dat lelijke beest toe om een foto te maken, Nu ik moet zeggen het is je goed gelukt om een mooie afbeelding te maken. Prachtige details en uitstekend werk.

This Marabou , probably, has much seen for the life. The sad eyes, the involved head. Human emotions are visible what that. A magnificent and qualitative portrait.

Hi Teunie.
Fantastic close-up shot. The clothes of the bird is outstanding. Its richness, details, colour tones, "finishing" are outstanding as well as the presentation. Sharpness and details of the picture make a strong impression. Great job and TFS.

Hello Teunie,
What an impressive portrait of this strange bird! This is not the most beautiful bird I have seen ;) Details are amazing in a very good POV. Brrr...; this guy is scary, really. Impressive eye contact. He looks almost human… Thanks,

Cześc Teunie,
Niesamowite foto tego fascynującego ptaka. Najlepszy portret marabuta jaki widziałem, świetny kadr, kolory i ostrośc. Zwierze sprawia wrażenie jakby posiadało ludzkie cechy. Very nice pictures.
