This is nice. Great view and detail of the bird. Good job with the head turn and a little lunch for all to enjoy.

I'm going to photograph these guys some day.I find them so fascinating. I'd probably clone out the green . And more head turn towards us, if it wouldn't hurt him :lol: You got good detail in the dark back feathers which is nice, man and that red crown is awesome..

George,

This is a very nice shot. Usually, I would want the head slightly turned toward the camera, but I think this works well just the way it is. Well done.

Nice exposure control to bring out the detail in the black. It's a great shot.

What a cool bird! Nice job with exposure, a little more light on the tail would be a plus. I've never seen one of these. Well Done,
