Really nice pose and low angle Guy. Good job on the troublesome shield and bill of this species. The white background band isn't ideal for me but it's not bad either and I suspect you've already toned it down as well as you can.

Nice one Guy. Agreed, you did a nice job controlling exposure with the dark bird and really bright shield/bill. Wing stretch is great, as is the detail. The white band doesn't bother me, seems quite OOF and doesn't distract my eye from the bird.

I love the light and angle of the light in this shot Guy. Nice pose too. The BG is not an issue with me. Larger versions shows nice detail.

great pose, great light, really a nice looking shot, Guy. For me, the white bg band doesn't bother me, but I might crop some to minimize the white at the bottom.
