This fellow was photographed a few weeks ago at Anhinga Trail in Florida’s Everglades National Park. Our resident Doctor Davis was talking to him trying to get him to look my way, but he simply would not listen; he was busy looking at his soon to be lunch. Mr. Concentration was painted with a Nikon D70s, using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D - IF-ED , with a Nikkor 1.7 T/C.

I like tight view... going after body parts is a great option
... btw this shows a point rather strongly !!! Generally the position of the eyeball makes a difference .. so when the bird is looking at you "looks" better than looking away ... all with a proper head angle !!!!
