| Thanks for the comments on this picture. It is a live bird caged with sunlight directly over it, about 3 meters above the ground, so it was a very difficult lighting scenario. |

| That's one wicked looking beak! Was it a mounted bird or a live bird? The lighting in this shot has left the eye and the breast of the bird in shadow while blowing out the white feathers on the neck. Don't know if this is something you had control over or not though. A fill flash effect might help to bring out more details in the front of the bird and perhaps a levels adjustment or some spot editting to help with the glare on the white feathers. |

| Great capture. I like the black background and the position of its head in the frame. You probably know that the white feathers are a tad blown, and the image may have been improved by sharpening, especially if the eyes could have been more in focus, and more highlighted. Curves may help to bring out the beautiful orange colour around its beak. Otherwise very nice. |
