Incredible crest! Excellent pose, very nice detail, and great colours. The white patches in the BG are a little ditracting; you might consider dampening them a bit.

A wonderful pose with that crest up! The highlights are a tiny bit distracting, but there are enough of them that I feel ok with them. Sort of balanced out. I like the colors and textures, and that you included the little piece of bg under the branch. Sharon

That is quite the headdress and what a strange name for eagle. The larger image look good with lots of detail and I like the pose. Interesting to see another bird that I have never heard of, well done Ken.

One of my favorite names for any bird out there - this thing is gorgeous and well captured. I especially like the raised crest.

Very mean look Ken. Love the crest in the up position.

Thanks every body, I took this whilst a crowd of almost 20 vehicles were looking for a non-existent Tiger
