Here's Lookin' At Ya

Nice "Portrait", very sharp.

 

I like the hand "portrait" of yours as well ....Pnina

 

I do like this! It's almost a sheepish expression that he's wearing! :-)

The bird does have a unique exspression and I like the sharpness.

A little shot of royalty. Extreme detail. Well done.

Does he have blue in his white feathers? Interesting look.

I noticed that too before you mentioned it.I went and looked at the original JPEG and, in fact, he does have blue in his feathers. Surprised me too. Thanks for the comment.

Ken, I think that the lighting, colors, highlight & shadow details, subject matter, and composition (I realize that this is a bit more of an extreme vertical framing than what you've done in the past,) are what make this image a success. I do notice a bit of a blur in the shot (is it only me, or am I spoiled by all the 20D pix lately ^_^ ?), but nevertheless it's sufficiently sharp to still render the image pleasing. BTW, this guy does have a pretty mean look! ^_^

Oh Ken, he looks MAD! I hope you were in the process of turning and running! LOL Their biting is well known! LOL Kind of the "Aflack" guy gone mad! LOL Nice detail and wonderful expression!

Wilson, I thought it was a tad blurred, but was wondering about the state of my eyes, too! Interesting about the blue highlights in the feathers!!

Looks like this fella wants to look in the view finder of your 20D. Pointing his beak right at ya.

 

Cool capture. Nice composition and lighting.

 

 

Kind regards.

Nice shot, Ken. I like the detail and crop. The backgorund works well too.

Ken, a fine shot and one where the longer lens comes in very handy.

Very good detail, great close-up. 6/6. What`s the closest focus distance with that lens?

Please critique.
