Taken very late in the afternoon, hence the golden glow.

Such an exotic-looking bird to me... really nice shots, too bad the reflection got clipped in teh 3rd, but still well done!

Nice ones! Very good exposure and sharpness too.
Regards!

Thanks for your nice comments guys.

The black ring round the face, the long neck feathers and the black feathers at the back show it is in mating plumage.

Here's another showing the full reflection for luftfluss

Hey, thanks!

It's a fine shot, great color and exposure and I like the eye looking right at me!
