    WOW! I really like the heavy contrast and definition here. LOVE the dangly legs and the pose of the bird as a whole is very appealing. Composition works well for me.

    *whispers* I can see a few dust bunnies.....

    Excellent hovering pose, sharp, and those red eyes, together with the yellow feet, stand out very well. I still need a decent image of these guys. Well captured.

    Very nice sharpness. Like the dangling yellow talons. Composition is solid. I would have preferred better eye contact.

    Love the near wing and layering of its feathers. I like the dangling feet too. Wish the shadow on the eye was not there...

    I don't mind the eye shadow at all. Lends a bit of mystery. Great colors and position.

    Beautiful shot, I like the pose, hanging talons and the sharp detail.
