Bronze Cowbird Displaying 2

[Roy Priest]

Same bird as before but with 2 eyes showing for those who didn't care for the one eye. Didn't like the wing position as compared to the first one and found this pose after looking through the sequence again.
Nikon D810, 1/800 @ F7.1, ISO 1600, 500mm, tripod

Love this one, Roy. Better than the first one. Seeing both eyes makes it very special. Great detail and sharpness where it counts.

[Marina Scarr]

I do believe that this image is even stronger than your first. Love seeing both eyes. THe details in your blacks are amazing and the eyes are so piercing. My only question is would this image look even better if you evened out the eyes to make him more symmetrical. Just a thought.

[Ian Wilson]

The eyes are surreal. Some selective area NR, especially under the wings where there is little feather detail, would improve the presentation. Great capture and unusual view. Regards, Ian

[Robert Kimbrell]

A killer image Roy, I also like it better than the first.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I do agree with applying a little selective NR to the wings.
Otherwise I love the pose. Really good to see both eyes and the puffed up neck. Mind you, I didn't mind the other shot with only one eye showing.
Well done mate, let's see more of this if you got it!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I had to go check out the previous image and I agree this one is stronger. Yes to some NR to the wings and tail, but careful not to overdo it.

[Gianluca Molina]

Very like shot and moment!

[Lorant Voros]

This is sweeeeet, better than the previous version for sure. Little NR in the wings and you are set. Very nice one.
