Lovely poised portrait and look at those talons. Nice pose, nice light and background.

Majestic bird Jeff. Like the direct eye contact and sweet BG with soft light.

Nice image, excellent pose and lovely background, Jeff. Looks very different from the crested one.

What a great shot of this rarly seen species. The pose is perfect and I love the BG, really showcases the bird well. The cut off perch isn't optimal but not bad.
The one thing I can see that could improve this nice image is lifting the blacks a bit more in PP. Looks like you can get some more detail from them.
Well done.
