Spectacular bird that I had not seen before and a great pose here Chuck, I'd add a little sharpening to the face of the larger version, well done.

I especially like the pose Charles, great looking cousin I've never seen as well.
Very nice

Beautiful bird and I really like the vertical pose and the head turn. The BG looks a little strange but it is OOF enough not to matter. Looks like a little sunlight hitting a fern leaf.
