    Hi Don - nice mug shot - have seen him around but if I do I will let you know :)
    Sharp as a tack - exposure looks good - BG rocks. Love the reflection in the eye.
    Looking good - sorry to hear about the damage :(

    Now there's a face only a mother could love! ;)
    Excellent detail, it's good to see these birds up close and have a good look at all that wattling(?) around the head.
    It would be interesting to see just how much detail you could get off your reflection in the birds eye if you wanted to.

    Nice looking image Don, it looked a little bright on my monitor so I lowered the mid tones with a curve adjustment and then added a S curve to ad a little contrast. I also cropped a bit off the top,

    Very cool! At least you got a nice portrait in return, when my car was broken into and GPS stolen, the guys did not wait for a portrait shot ;)

    Nice potrait of an un-nice bird. I guess the Black vultures are back doing damage at the Anhinga Trail again. In February when I was down there they were staying away. If I was going again I bring a large tarp and place it over the car :D

    Hey Meyer, yes that is what i'm thinking as well, but i can't afford another 700 dollars, so i need to think on this... this was my camera $$ fund/work shop, so this hurt for sure!
