Great job David. Nice light and perfect exposure to bring out the detail in all that white.

Beautiful portrait, David. The exposure is perfect and I like the minimal contrast between the plumage and the bg-just enough to make it stand out.

Nice one. The liight BG is a good choice for this bird.

David:
Exceptional detail in the whites. Nice, too, how the bill divides the blue and pink areas of the BG.

Beautiful, natural colors, great look at the eye and the background works very well.

Wonderful portrait and good job in handling the difficult white colors and still seeing feather detail, way to go.
