Pukeko

 
 
Recently I was able to get quite close
to some Pukekos.
 
I was keen to see if I could make
a portrait of one.
This is the closest
that I got,
but as a portrait
it is not quite there yet.
Unfortunately, the bird
was moving quite
quickly and the subject
is slightly blurry.
 
I like the way that it
is standing on a rock
and I like the way that
it appears in profile.
