Deep in the eye

[Nancy Bell]

Recently I attended several bird functions that had rescue birds on display. I am always awed to see these magnificant creatures up close. I posted a thread in the Avian forum on how I think of these birds as Public Relations Birds, designated by circumstance to represent birds to people. If you look deep into the eye of this Red-tailed Hawk you can see children and adults admiring this bird. Further in the background is a large white tent for other events at this bird fair.

c & c very welcome.

Nancy, I always love to see reflections in the eyes. This one is well captured. I like the people and the tent I might crop a small bit off the bottom.

Hi, Nancy. Love the intense look and important story. TFS

Very intimate shot, Nancy, made all the more compelling by the back story. Like the reflection, I agree with Bob that brightening it a bit would be good. I would also crop off about half of the space at the bottom.

Good advice: lighting the eye image and cropping. Thanks :)

Nancy, I love the concept. The eye looks so human:)
