Another fine shot. Again, as I said in your previous shot, I like the way the light is catching the beak.
I think the slightest bit of fill in flash would work well here, just a very subtle amount to avoid ruining the natural lighting and mood.

Hi Jack,

Very nice series of shots, though this is my favourite of the bunch, great lighting and a very nice BG.

Works for me all day long Jack - one of your best imo

I might be tempted to dodge in the side of the face and the eye a bit just to lift it but it's a shot I wished I had - nice job.

Superb lighting. I wouldn't change a thing. Excellent.

Nice, agree with Andy, I too might be tempted to slightly dodge the side of the face, just to bring the eye out that little bit better.

Very nice one :)

Lovely lighting and action - lifting the face detail a tad will help, but nice stuff. Looks like you had a good trip all told.

I agree with the additional processing to the side of the face. Its a great shot, full frame too!!

Their beaks are brilliant when they're lit like this
