Just beautiful, super detail lovely pose great colours, unobtrusive background. I also like the iris detail. Well done!
The slight negative head turn is of no consequence for me.

Captured at the perfect time, spectacular.

Well done Joe, love the feather plume separation and the green BG, details everywhere!

Another nice Gatorland image Joe, the RP does improve things a little - worth the effort IMHO

Solid portrait of this snowy. The breeding plummage is a plus.
