Bosque Del Apache, NM. His concentration was so intense he was didn't even see me standing there. Its full frame.

The concentration really shows in this photo.

At first glance I worried (for 20 milliseconds or so) over the background, but you've positioned yourself, and thus the bird's head, really well so that attention is drawn right to its eye.

Love the tiny feather flipped up on its head. :)

Nice details and portrait. The BG looks a bit distracting and it would have been nice to have sun behind you. The whites look a bit blueish.

He's definitely concentrating on lunch and not you. Those Bosque backgrounds along the ditches are difficult to work with and is a bit distracting. There does seem to be a bluish cast showing in the whites.
