This one of our iconic birds from the tropics of Australia.

Seems a bit dark, can you lighten it.

Agree a little dark - very 'prehistoric' looking bird

Think this may be our very first Cassowary...

I like the black background but the bird itself is a bit dark and is slightly lost against it - think it's worth bringing the bird up a bit otherwise

Difficult environment, very dark shade with just a sunny spot on the head. I didn't want to blow the highlights on the head. I've lightened it a bit.Cassowary2a.jpg

Thanks for all the input.

[El Sid]

Just what I was thinking of. Nicely done.
