Beautiful. Negative space in front the bird works really well and is a great color complement.

Serge, wonderful calling pose with great head angle, the water color surrounds/BG is so pretty, and ties in nicely with this individual's budding breeding plumage. Glad you got a chance to photograph these guys - very well done!

Nice loose composition and the complimentary water colour and calling pose really make this image for me.
Thanks for looking,
