Knynsa Turaco Portrait

Here's another shot of the Knynsa Turaco from the Garden Route in South Africa, you can even get head shots of it sometimes. At one point there were 8 of these birds flying around the garden. They are fed fruit daily there. Cropped to vertical.

Canon 1D Mark IV, 500f4 1.4x 1/250 F7.1, iso 800

Outstanding Nate, the feather detail is amazing and matching the background color with the bird makes this shot for me. :toast:

Such a wonderful bird. I've been enjoying the photos you got of these guys, Nate. It's fine portrait with a nice complementary background, though I'm not sure about the extra real estate at the top.

One would be hard-pressed to find a bg with more complimentary color! Beautiful! This portrait makes this bird look very sweet.
