I know it's a no-no to have the head intersect the wing but for some reason I find these types of images appealing...personal taste. I do find it a bit dark on my monitor but I like the extended wings and dangling talons as it took off.

Scott:

Good comments from Duanne. Quite the peekaboo pose. I do agree about the bird being a bit dark.

Cheers

Agree with all of the above, the eye on these birds is so nice and vibrant that I think this still has enough of an engaging quality:)
