Very nice details in the blacks. Hard to expose properly IMO. Excellent pose showing the funny tail and that nice green eye. Well done.

Looks great to me Ken. Love the look at the back of this bird and all the great feather groups. Neat tail and eye for sure. Nice eye contact and overall comp. Well done.

Beautiful light, Ken. The feather detail with this lighting is outstanding.
