Cool look, soft light and great details. Maybe a bit tight in the frame.

I agree with Axel but love the wonderful expression in this capture and the great eye contact. You certainly got his attention Steve. Thanks for sharing.

[Van Hilliard]

How absolutely marvelous. Eyes always tell the story. Perfect exposure and nice separation from the background.

I like the pose, the sharpness, and especially the reddish color tones in the plumage. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more room at the bottom. Well done.

[Steve Large]

Great shot Steve. Beautiful color and clarity as well as the expression for sure. Those big pupils really make the shot!!!

Can't figure out how you get your 100-400L to perform so well. Had to stop using mine as it gave nothing but soft images.

Cheers,

Steve L.

may be a bit tight, but this is sooooooooooo good Steve.
The eye contact is simply wonderful

I would be tempted to blur the bg a bit more and sharpen the legs/feet
Did I say the eye contact is wonderful? :)
