Lovely image, Gene. I have always admired the subtle beautiful color in the female of the species. The raised crest here makes all the difference — excellent capture.

Very nice Gene, some detail with the d850 and it works so well with the 300 2.8. Congrats on a fine image.

Bird and perch are perfect, but I think the stuff at frame's bottom competes the our attention.
