Hello Peter,
A superb close portait of a Hamerkop. The details of the head, including the eye, plumage and bill are shown with excellent sharpness and natural colours from a pleasing POV against a clean BG.
I have seen it in Gambia and taken analogue shots of it but never got this close!
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

Bonjour Peter,

I am amazed to see some bird's head fantasy (http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo244321.htm). But humans sometimes have even more fantazy with their heads.

You captured a nice light coming from behind which creates a nice rim light around its head. BG is completly blured behind and brings all attention on the bird itself. Sharpness and exposure are excellent and I like the brillance we can see in his eye. Good work and TFS.
