White-crested Turaco portrait

As of late I find the Turaco family to be the prettiest birds around. I was quite happy to see several species of them at the Antwerp zoo.

  Thanks. It's actually a very old photo but I think somebody promoted it again. Personally, I think it's quite unsharp, but the bird itself compensates for it :) Posted 3 years ago
