Hi Joe, first well done with a tricky subject. I like the way it stands out from the background. Good detail in the feathers on the shaded side. Also the way the intense stare of the eye makes you look down the impressive bill.

Nicely done Joe, the colors on the bill are fantastic.

I'd echo the comments above. That's a good bit of work to deal with a challenging lighting situation and come out with a image of that clarity and detail.

Thanks Clive I value your comment, I wish it were lion cubs but then we photograph what we have. Your lion cubs is such a beautiful image worthy of occupying a place on your wall, but then I have many memorable images of Africa you have shared with us.

Thank you Donald, I value your comment. The tone curve was a bit unorthodox balancing the highlights and shadows, trying to get them to work and compliment each other.
