That's very cool! Great pose! What did you pay it:)?

[jlcarnagey]

That's some neck on that guy. Cool shot.

[ajosteve]

That's the longest neck I've ever seen on this bird...cool shot...steve

[joedlh]

Two hours sitting on a hard, inclined slope, hiding behind an overhanging branch, and perched above the stream in which it was feeding.

That's gotta be PS'ed!! That neck is just abnormal! :shock:

[joedlh]

Nope. Not PS'd. The only touch-ups I did were to remove a distracting branch and light spot in the background and some floaters in the water.
