Just saw lots of these in Kakadu. Even though they stay like that a while to dry their wings, it's not easy to photograph them given the blackness of the feathers. Anyway, you've done a pretty good job here.
Regards Toni

Hello Chi

Chi, I do enjoy these birds, and this is a great picture.

Excellent and vivid colors, great contrast, pov and composition. I do enjoy pose too.

Hi Chi.. very nice capture! I like how he is looking back over his wings. It took me a little to figure out that was what he was doing. The wing detailed is very good and the blue sky adds a nice BG. Very nicely done! :-)
