Great shot Yves, I can imagine the challenge. I too like Clifford like the pose you captured him in giving that flicker of catch light in the eye. the colours, texture and details are beautiful.
I love his bandit like facial markings and you caught him in a terrific pose. Very nice composition, tones and detail here, Yves, so well captured. They're not a very common bird in our area and I've never seen one myself. Nice to see one here though :)
Very nice colours and detail. I particularly like the catch light in the eye and your choice of aperture to create a great DOF to showcase this bird to the fullest.
