In my last thread http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/128873 , some asked whether I had photographed the Eastern Screech Owlets up closer. Here's the bravest of the 2 peering out into the afternoon sun. You can see that he had to adjust his pupils to the heavy light. I personally prefer the smaller in the frame image. More and more I find myself focusing less on full frame portraits and more on small in the frame and behavior images. They mean more to me, and I enjoy telling stories with my images whenever possible. I would suggest that once you've achieved your portraits, look for other opportunities and consider backing up and/or removing your teleconverters.

I'd really like to know which image you prefer and why. Thank you in advance for your comments and critiques.
