Very nice portrait, nice expresssive pose.

Superb light, incredible control on exposure & focus, Joseph, great piece!!! Congr.

Beautiful capture! Best regards.

This is quite funny. My association is to the formal portraits of 19th century aristocrats who dressed in their finery and plumage, thinking that their garb would distract from their innate homeliness. This bird has an overdressed, homely charm, and I imagine would make a delightful guest at dinner parties.

Another great shot. Keep em comin. Think of all the cool shots you will have very soon from the PA side. Darren

Jim H: Thanks for commenting!

Bob: He was a good subject :) Thanks man!

Richard: Thanks! I did some simple level adjusting. Snuck a monopod into the zoo. This was taken indoors and I needed a steady lens.

Linh: Thank you much!

Jeff: lol! Right after the zoo, we stopped by the St. Louis Art Museum. I saw many paintings just like you described. I was laughing about the big circular collars they all had in the paintings. You nailed it again! Thanks!

Darren: I'm really looking forward to it! Thanks Brotha!

Another great shot! I'm imagining this one's straight out of the camera. I like the black background and the way the subject stands out! Nice detail! This dude must be quite elderly by the look of his bill! :)

 

Best regards,
