Love the hairdo and look back pose. Great light and BG, as well.

Excellent capture in every respect.

I like the way that this image was taken and the cropping as-well, perfectly done CINDY.

Head on shots of birds seem to have that intense look about them. In this case it is accentuated by the crest and slight side lighting which makes it look angry as well. A real beauty that looks great as a vertical.

A great head-on view, of a species that most of us have probably never seen- very nice background-colour, in your image.
