    Lance,

    I really like the detail and sharpness, especially like the eye! Pretty nice for iso 3200.

    I wonder if the brightness could be bumped up just a little and if it were mine I would consider removing the grass just under the birds neck and the one that protrudes above, also perhaps the one that crosses over it.

    Cool bird and nicely captured,

    Joel

    wow! this is awesome - that eye is incredible - I love my d300, but this clear at ISO 3200 makes one very jealous.... beautiful bird.

    Hi Lance, well handled image. I like the angle and detail. The grasses add to the image giving a hint of environment. Can't help but focus on the eye which has alot of appeal...

    I just love the look on this bird's little face, and with such detail in the eyes. . . it's almost begging you to throw down some of your sandwich! ;-)

    Lovely image Lance. I've never seen one up close like this before so it's good to see one that shows such nice detail in the eye.
