Darn, I'll say it again James. Quite a list of countries you've visited, that's a bunch of scroll time ;)
Great profile portrait, I like the POV from behind, it's different. Excellent DOF throughout, from beak tip to the backside of the head. Nice colors & sharp details, with the exposure very well managed.
Nice work!

Hi James
Very good composition, nice OOF buckground (but maybe you could blur it a little bit - gaussian blurig). Sharpness is good. I think that you could also reduce the higlights a little bit. I like your image very much and it is taken in natural environment!
Best wishes

Hi James,
You had to be really close to get this photo. Was it a wild shot or in a bid park? The lighting in this photo is most wonderful and highlighted the wonderful colored head perfectly. I like the side profile from his back a lot. It shows the huge bill perfectly.
