Love that pose. Beautiful bird, nicely exposed. On my monitor, it looks like it could use a small increase in contrast.

Excellent behavioral capture, and near-perfect work on the whites, getting that glow they have without blowing them. The bird is just a bit too centered for my taste, but I think that is largely a matter of taste.

Sweet capture of this behavior Jagdeep :cool: I like the dominant feel of the habitat, while not being too distractive in this photo.
