Very nice bird, love the huge beak and the sharp eye. I wish you had more room all around the bird as it looks a tad tight.

The low perspective really accentuates the bill and the head turn is perfect.
Well done

Lovely shot - this makes me miss Kruger! There were huge fires around Kruger and the Sabi Sands yesterday :(
