Okay, so I know this guy doesn't have classic beauty, but is very rare, and is an amazing creature. This "pose" is exactly how they sit with their heads hanging. Their heads have an amazing amount of color, and I've tried to keep the saturation true to life.

I remember this guy from my trip to the WIld Animal Park..they are some ugly birds..so cool they have survived for so many centuries! nice finish here Tom!
Love the way Mr. Handsome is presented in the frame.. You totally nailed clarity and detail which i think is outstanding...
The highlight in his feathers is also really good...
I love this one. The head down look is great. Reminds me of the villainous vulture characters from some old cartoons. Face is the shadows is the only minor critique I can make, but with animals, you take them how you can get them.
I don't think I've seen one shot this way - I really like it! And strangely, it has a very California old rock and roll (think Mick Jagger) feel to it.
