A great close-up, Scott.
Very sharp, with natural colors.
I did not realize that their mouth (yellow part) goes so far back... all the way under their eyes.
His beak is actually very short, relatively speaking.
Interesting.
TFS. : )

Stunning! Great title. You have really done a magnificent job here. Perfectly composed with incredible close details. I am sure if I look at the eye close enough I can see your reflection! :-)

Hi Scott,
I don't think people will get tired of shots of this quality, I certainly won't. You've captured great detail, colours are good and the f/4.5 aperture has worked well. Colours are very natural and background is spot-on. Perfectly framed.
Cheers,
Adrian

This is a doozy! I love the catch-light, focus and the detail of the head feathers. The mouth detail is amazing. OOF background is top-notch and your notes are the best!

Wow Scott!
The eyes have it! Very nice!
Excellent work!
Thanks,

ps I'm working so much now, I might be able to buy that new camera with no problem. But, who knows when I would get to use it. I won't be going for my swamp paddle...:-( My biggest disappointment this year, but you have to be able to roll with the punches. And, there is still plenty to be grateful for.

Take care mf... Dave

Hi Scott
I don't think it gets much better than this. Noble pose, great DOF, background nicely out of focus but sharing the same color tones - I can't find anything to improve on this shot.

Hi Scott,
very exciting portrait of a raptor.
Wonderful pose, excellent details, marvellous shades of subdued colours with superb contrasts.
The distant and noble grey background getting dark towards the bird's chest could not be better. It helps to shape the bird in an absolutely perfect way, making it appear very real, stunningly three-dimensional, and very lively.
Excellent contribution. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter
