Still going through my shots from holiday and thought I'd take a break to post this. It's a fairly standard issue portrait but I liked the detail in it, especially at full res!
EDIT: On my screen once posted it looks a bit dark, the blacks in the neck look crushed but looking on photoshop on the pc there is plenty of detail there.
A striking close-up with wonderful colour. Black detail looks fine on my screen. The center of the neck and the lowest bottom edge has less visible detail than the rest of the plumage but IMHO this looks absolutely fine and probably helps define the necks shape.

Lots of detail and vibrant colour Richard and what a weird eye they have to.. Nice one.

What a stunning bird. I love the green and the orange.
