The heaviest bird to fly, not that it does it to often!

He looks like he has some size to him. Great detail and color, Kori.

These are very interesting, big birds. Unfortunately, they are often out on the plain savannah, and there’s not often much interest in the grasses.
Great pose I haven’t seen, fine detail.
A little work on the eye alone might bring that out even more -they have cool eyes.
Well-done!

Great pose, Ken. Excellent detail in the bird. I like the background, but you might add a bit of blur to the upper 1/3 of it to make the head (particularly the beak) pop a bit better.
