James, I love the BG and the pose. Well done.:S3:

Love all the detail and the nice BG. Great eye contact too.

Pretty cool James! Rim lighting works nicely as does the killer BG.

Great detail and exposure James, love the piercing stare.

Tack sharp James, and I like the pose.I wouldnt like to get ripped with that beak.

James, what I liked the most is the details and the rim light. perfect mix of sharpness of the sharp features and and softness of the feathers.

Jim, I like the pose and the way the background makes it stand out.

James - nice job in tough light. You made the best of it with the rim lighting. Great sharpness and detail.

thanks
Charles

Excellent! Really like the back lighting something different.

Excellent portrait, you handled the back-light beautifully.
