Great shot here. Nice detail and background really makes the bird stand out. The OOF rocks in the foreground add depth as well. Maybe a touch more on top if you have it? Well done.

Antino, Interesting subjece, nice pose, background and colors. I'd allow a bit more room at top and bottom if I had it.

Wonderful shot of a wonderful bird. Maybe a vertical comp?

A bird I have never managed a decent image od despite the fact that the african version comes into my garden occasionally.

Great image with the crest raised
