Love the pose and the wicked-looking 'eyebrows'! The rocks make a nice setting and background. Nice one!
Cheers

Hi Russell.
Fantastic shot, they look such a hard case with those bushy eye-brows when they look direct at you.
Perfectly sharp and detailed. Great to see a good view of the web feet also, huge feet.

Hi Russell

Great pose - you have caught the crest brilliantly. The exposure is good too, in what would have been difficult conditions.

I have just noted on Katheleen's posting - this and the Erect Crested are the two remaining species I have to see in the wild.

Excellent capture Russell.
From this front POV the huge eyebrows look quite imposing.
The legs look very strange,as if it is wearing gaiters or something.
Great shot!
Cheers
