Majestic Crested Cockatoo Portrait

An astonishing studio close-up portrait of a Salmon-Crested Cockatoo displaying its magnificent flared crest in full crest-feather fan expansion. The bird's feathers are a brilliant snowy white with delicate salmon-pink and soft apricot undertones glowing from beneath its crest plumes. Its glossy black beak shows intricate keratin texture, while its round dark eye is encircled by a delicate powder-blue eye ring. The cockatoo is perched on a piece of dark weathered driftwood against a deep velvety teal studio backdrop. Softbox studio lighting positioned at 45 degrees illuminates the translucent feather plumes, making the pink highlights glow like spun silk, while gentle shadow contrast accentuates every individual feather quill. Captured on Hasselblad X2D 100C with a 120mm f/3.5 Macro lens, extreme focal precision on the eye, rich texture contrast, commercial avian portraiture, fine art bird photography.
