One of my favorite African birds. You managed to capture all of its great colors with this view. I like the wide spread in the head plumage too.

Nice shot, Ken.
Very different position, I don't remember seeing one like this before.

Amazing looking bird beautifully captured. The textures, colors, and stance of the bird excellent.

Another nice capture Ken. I like the perch and the clean sky BG. The details are sharp and yes, that is an interesting pose.

A species that always looks royal to me. Nice work on blacks, and the head turn is excellent.
