This is a first or second year bird which is being rehabed for wing damage. The larger feathers are almost like plates and they have a gorgeous plumage made up of golds and dark browns.

Canon 10D, 100-400mm

A great headshot. Looks a bit overexposed to me.

A nice portrait. I agree with Alan it looks a bit over plus maybe a little more contrast.

Beautiful shot Harold. A bit more contrast for me.

Nice intimate pose. I will be working with goldens this nesting season and I hope I can show you some of my images.

Very tight but very well done. Good detail. More contrast for me too.

Marvelous curved portrait. The reproduced feather detail is superb.

Beautiful close up and pose Harold. I would slightly boost the saturation and contrast - but that's just my taste. Love the image!
