Certainly not one of Natures beauties, but still nice to see as its status is "vulnerable".

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think this guy is at least stunning, if not beautiful. I like the green background, as it shows off the bird well. I think lightening this a touch would improve it. Well done.

I think it's a very attractive bird. Colors are pleasing and the background is great. I might try to lighten the image just a touch, you certainly don't want to blow out those whites. Great work Ken!

Like some of the others have already said I think this is a rather stunning looking bird if not downright beautiful. Perfectly composed and exposed. Great head turn and profile. Looks very sharp as well. Nicely done Ken.
