Certainly a very striking image Frank, and whilst I'm not sure it'll be to everyones taste I think its superb.

The symmetry is spot on and the light angle works perfectly with the subjects pose.

A very striking image Frank it just demands observation - well done I really like it.

Oh I like this a lot! I love the details on the head and bill. Lots to study. Awesome symmetry, with the neck extending on each side of the bill and both eyes equally placed on their sides. Very nicely done!!

Hi Frank, perfect symmetry, and I feel you also have the DOF spot on. I like the detail on the bill, and the colours stand out nicely too. Love that we can see both eyes from the head on capture. Great work.

This is smokin' Frank I'm really liking this portrait. If it was mine (and I wish it was) I would experiment with a selective sharpen to the head, bill and eyes. A quick RP based on 60% @ 0.6 and a global medium contrast boost :S3:

Well done, Frank. The symmetry is what makes it (even the shadow runs top-to-bottom
