I don't know which of these I like best! They're all marvelous, especially the one with the Wizard of Oz-like-setting (in #2). Very nicely captured. Such a gorgeous bird!

Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States

Closer...closer...closest. These are terrific shots. Weird how such a magnificent bird in flight can be rather homely and hunchback when not.

@Suzanne: I know what you mean Suzanne. I think most of the birds problems arise from the way he tucks his neck in while just standing. Thanks for your comment!
