The center image was my immediate favorite and did not disappoint in the larger version. The detail is great in all of them but especially nice there because of the feet and definition of the tail feathers and just the overall wing/body position of the bird. A very nice series.

Very nice set of individual images. We have these birds in our local Zoo. Very active characters!

This is a lovely progression of shots. Absolutely stunning! I would certainly say that it was worth the wait.
