Man, he needs to wipe his beak. Where was the make-up artist and hair stylist for this shoot?

Rob :toast: :biggrin:

Doesn't quite fit comfortably in the frame for me Craig {maybe a fraction higher and slightly to the left :confused: }.

Nice idea though, and nice to see a head-shot of these birds!

Hi,

I'm with Alan here, a great bg but I feel there is just too much of it, had you repositioned so that the head was higher and more to the left of the frame it would sit more comfortably and would perhaps have avoided the chopped off at the neck feel, certainly looks like the bird has been having a good rummage in the mud..

Agree a little to the left would be nice :smile:

Great headshot but unfortunately too soft!
