| Such a tight crop does not indicate if the bird is living in it's natural environment or in a cage. A looser crop would have been more appropriate as per the challenge description. |

| Wow, this is a terrific composition, I just wish I could see the detail in the bird. We're just drawn to the head forst and then to the amazing cloak and to not be able to really study it is a shame. |

| One of my top choices. I just love the soft colors and how well they work with his soft feathers. Love the bird's expression too. Just wonderful. A 10 from me. |

| I don't care if this was taken in the wild, on a reserve, or in a zoo....... I have rarely seen a photo more breath-takenly rendered . |

| This looks like he was posing for a formal portrait. I love the focus, colors and composition. Probably my favorite in the whole challenge for me. (excluding my entry of course) |

| only thing I could see to improve this shot is his lower beak seems to blend into background, otherwise great capture |

| Nice capture of a pose, soft feel of neck feathers. Slightly sharper and brighter levels would help, as overall image feels too dark. |
|

| Looks slightly underexposed. Which is a shame because otherwise it's an excellent picture and one of my favorites from this challenge. 8 |

| Wow, Lovely picture. For being portrayed as such a vicious predator, you sure brought out the softer, more glamorous side. Well done! |

| I don't know if this is actually in the wild or not - but it's such a magnificent shot - WOW! Perfect focus & lighting. Love the rich natural color tones. Have to give you the benefit of the doubt regarding natural environment. 10 |

| Awesome shot you took there. Taken that close it leads me to believe that it's not "wild". Otherwise this is perfect. |
