    Ofer:


    The eye is great, exposure excellent, enough side lighting to really make the wing feather detail stand out, nice angle in frame.

    Sharp.

    I love seeing some of the older images, captured with equipment that we would consider very obsolete now, but that were capable of producing very fine images in the right hands.

    Cheers

    Very nice light, pose and details, Ofer.
    Love it.
    I'd probably move him just a bit to the left.

    awesome Ofer, love the pose and light. 20D was my first serious DSLR, this brought back some good memories!

    Wonderful sharp image, agree with above comments on older equipment, it could produced stunning images.

    Really nice wing detail and the light looks good. I love how the red eye stands out and the way the one foot is curved a bit.

    Ofer, perfect wing position...which is not always possible with the slower frame rate cameras. exposure and angle of the bird are also perfect.

    If mine, I'd have the bird a tad to the left in the frame.
