Here's one from the "old" files form last spring.

Although it is a little large within the frame for my personal taste, the feather detail and the pose are both superb.

Detail is great- DOF well judged. Nice to see an unusual pose too. Well Done!

Fantastic portrait Jeroen. The flat lighting has really brought out the detail in the feathers.
