| In retrospect, I would have given this a 10. You introduced me to these magfnicently beautiful birds with this terrific shot. I love the colors, POV, focus/DOF, and composition. This is one of those images that just haunts me (and has continued to do so since the challenge). I remember it vividly at all times. I'm not sure what else can be said to express my impression of this shot. I love it. |

| Die already dammit! I'm hungry! Maybe not quite as ominous as Doomwatch, but pretty close... |

| I think in a Free Study this would win hands down. Its one of the top bird shots I have seen here. but I also had a hard time scoring it over a 7 with out any emphasis on the wings. Great Title I missed that because some wicked headshot kept staring at me. :) |

| I find myself in a quandry over this one - the challenge is wings, physical or figurative, and yet the wings seem to be completely incedental to the photograph. The level of detail and colour reproduction in the birds head are incredible, with an almost seering clarity of focus. However as a photograph (and quite seperate from the challenge, too) it doesn't quite work for me - something to do with the fact that focus is deep enough to allow the tip of the beek through to the neck to be sharp, but then drops off incredibly rapidly. I am curious to see what lens you are using. |

| Can't see much of the wings, but what a shot of that "face to die for!" Talk about a photo that "jumps out at you!" |
