I'm usually not a big head shot guy, but since this is Artie's site I was inspired to post one. This image was made last spring on a lek in eastern New Mexico with a Canon 1D IIn, 600 IS and early a.m. light.

A very handsome bird for me (seeing it is the first I see as well:)) Well done.
I love the clean background. I would have loved some more depth of field and more sharpness in the breast feathers. Overall a nice image.
Great portrait! beautiful light and BG.
congrats!
Brian lovely details, exposure and BG. Recognizing that this is likely a full frame shot, I might still like to see a touch more space on the right for the bird to look into.
