I really like the DOF, the light and the detail.

Great subject and good sharpness on the entire long-necked bird for apparently being so close.

An interesting look bird with just as interesting of a name (that last work can be tricky). Good pose to really show of the feather patterns/color, nice job in getting unusual bird, way to go.
