What an amazing shot! I can't believe that bird let you get that close to it.

Wow! great timing on this shot! I'm also glad to see that the background adds rather than takes away from this picture! Great focus. I also like the thumb ring. :) I vote this a "10"

Wow! You're title sums it up. Good focus! Areas of the hand are a little blown out but it's not like you had time to adjust and prepare! Well shot! -9-

Image isn't that exciting to me compared to what I've seen so far, however I do like how you captured the bird's wingspan as it was landing.

Edit...The capture of the bird is definately a great shot, but your cropping should have been a little tighter on the stronger part of the image (the bird) rather than having the entire hand.
