Philly Zoo, 6-20-08
Wasn't the best of days, tons of junior camps to make photographing a pain, especially carrying the Bigma around.
Definitely need to show up earlier at zoo, but had relatives in tow, and they didn't want to leave that early. Not expecting much from this shot, and its my first entry in about a year. Low 6's high 5's is my expectations, so lets see how wrong I am.

Would have preferred a tad more sharpness ΓΆ€“ still a very nice capture of the beautiful bird!

Nice colors and good details in the body feathers, but the head looks a little off on focus.

focus appears soft on the eyes. It may not be because of the colors involved it is a little difficult to determine.
