The detail on the larger image is very nice. The eye really pops. Nice low perspective. I seem to think there needs to be a slight CW rotaion.

Superb details on this unusual looking bird. The environment is relatively uncluttered. All in all, an excellent image, excepting about a 5 degree CCW tilt, Sandy. My guess is you left it for room for the virtual feet. :toast:

The smaller version dos not do this one justice. Looks great and the detail and techs are right on. Beautiful look at this unique bird.
Well done

That's a really cool looking bird, Sandy, and very well photographed. Even with the similarly colored bg, it pops nicely.
