Thank you for the comments on my previous post. Many of the species have been found starving to death this year injured birds have been collected and put in rehab this image is another female which sustained a broken wing she has now re-established her normal weight. She is eating well. I was taken by her over the shoulder pose for me.

Hi Barry
It is certainly an unusual image and I suspect not everyones cuppa hence the lack of comments. I think that it looks more like a painting perhaps due to the softness of the facial feathers in particular. Had it been against a nice blue sky it would have stood out abit more for me.
I applaud you for posting something different and for highlighting the plight of these beautiful birds.

Your very lucky to see these un the wild... though isnt just the way us seeing them is often a sign they are struggling.

Composition a bit awkward for my taste. However, I think you could make a strong image by closing in much tighter on the eye.
