You lookin' at me?

The shadow under the beek bothers me but it wasn't a well light

situation.

The fact that this bird allowed you to get this close to begin with more than makes up for the small shadow under the beak! Good Job!

Did you use flash? The light looks a little harsh. But, the shot really is great!

Took a few shots with and without the flash and regrettably this was the only one that worked well without a ton of Photoshop work. Tried to lessen the light with levels and a multiply layer mask to still keep it looking real.
