Hallo Joe
This is a super shot of a beautiful bird. I have seen many Turaco's before but not this one as yet. It is very fascinating and interesting. This one is indeed an eye-catcher, especially that swanky tuft on its head. The red and yellow beak places the cherry on the cake and rounds of this beautiful photo. Framing and presentation are done very pleasantly in this lovely portrait.
Kind regards
Anna

The range of colors is amazing Joe and the detail so minute and fascinating. Yes - he does look like a rock star... cocky and flushed. TFS

Quite the patterns and colours....Ken Kesey would have liked it as wold have Dr Leary:-) some who know might understand....Very clear in on the feathers there. Sometimes they look almost as groomed as a rock star...Good show Joey!

Hi Joe

Great portrait of another rather rare bird here on TN - this Great Blue Turaco!
I like the strong close-up on the head of the bird, showing us how multicolored it really is.
The details are excellent (especially on that vivid beak) and the exposure is well handled, since this time you didn't use any flash.
I also like the uniform BG here, which i think goes well to bring out the colors of the bird's plumage.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: i got you e-mail. I also think that if we are 10 we can start deciding on stuff...times grows shortly :)

Hi Joe,

Like it? I LOVE IT!! An amazing close-up of this Great Blue Turaco. He is something to look at. Love that hair-do. The red and yellow beak is another scene stealer. And what a beautiful eye. The colors of his plummage are gorgeous. Magnificent details of the face and feathers. A superb shot of this fashion plate.

Hi Joe.
You have pictured a true beauty. I like it and its hair a lot. Sharpness and colour reproduction of the bird are superb and cropping is great for portrait work. I welcome your use of high ISO. Result is very impressive and nice. My compliments.

Ciao Joe,
super ritratto di questo spettacolare uccello catturato con una straordinaria definizione e lo stupendo dettaglio del riflesso del fotografo e della scena nell'occhio, eccellenti POV e taglio compositivo con uno stupendo OOF BG, bellissimi i colori.

Hi Joe,
A cool shot of this punk Turaco.
An interesting looking species.
It reminds me a bit of the Australian Cassowary.
Good exposure with good detail in the darker plumage.
Nice work.
TFS and cheers.
