The head position and the errect "crest" are very nice, the feet and such are a little OOF but its still a nice image..

Thats nice ! Not easy birds to get right in my view.
Racking out a bit would have maybe got that bit extra def on the feet.
Cheers

I bet there's some wasted DoF in front of the subject on this Jeroen - you must have had a good 3 inches to play with, but that's AF for you

Nice comp and stunning colour though
