Hey Keith really glad you posted this one, a cracking image. :toast:

Love the colours & DOF on this one and you have retained a lot of great detail, especially in the eyebrow which can be easily lost through PP. Personally I would have liked a bit more turn to camera, however with all that lovely plumage it soon makes up with for it.

This year Keith with the upgrade to the D4 & your expanding PP skills your images are really taking shape big time, congratulations, keep them coming. :toast: :toast:
