Thats a beautiful portrait Lea, with a very complimentary BG, excellent work
A little tight for my taste (personal thing that) but a very nice portrait of a smashing bird that shows the crest well....

I really like this Lea. For some reason it appears to be difficult to get much feather detail on this species, but you have managed it superbly here.

Fantastic shot. Unusual to see such a clean background with these. The colours are great and detail spot on.

Great shot. Probably would not have been improved even if the weather had been better, the overcast lighting gives a lovely soft feel.
Tony
ps hope you have got the decorating finished!
