taken in march of 2007 at wakodahatchee. it's a heck of a crop to get it where i wanted it. reworked today in Ps. tell me what you think.

D50, 50-500 at 500mm, f/10, 1/400s, 0EV, ISO 400, flash fill with better beamer.

thanks for looking. comments and critiques much appreciated.

Harold: Interesting perspective. Exposure looks spot-on. Feather detail is superb!

hi Harold this is a verry good image , i like the contact eyes in the camera , details and colors looks good too. maybe a little bit of saturation ? not sure , lets see what the moderators says... well done good work ..

Nice pose here, I like that the beak is almost 100% perpendicular to the sensor, it feels like it is coming out of the screen!

HI Mr H - exposure looks good as does the PP work - might just sharpen the eyes a tad.
Love the details in the feathers and the straight down the barrell stare.
Good show :)

Love the in your face stare, the feather details, and the wind blown feather on top of the head. Good sharpness and nice exposure too, TFS.

Hi Harold ... sure wish it was a full frame to crop it even tighter ... one fine looking face !!!

Hi Harold - Nice DOF to get so much of this bird in focus. Everything looks spot on to me. Everytime I look at this image, I just grin. It is such an comical perspective.
Well done.

Cheers
Gail
