Wow, I'm drawn into his eye and the interesting black shape around it. Nice detail in the lower feathers too. Unfortunately, unless I get my monitor angled just right, the top of his head, and even down his neck, seems a little too saturated and all blends together into a bright reddish blob.

This is a really cool shot. There should be some clever title for it.

WOW That's gorgeous! Nice and close. Lucky you. One of the best 'portraits' in the challenge.

I think this definitely qualifies as a portrait, however how am I supposed to know this is a wild bird? I'll assume for now it really is, but I think this one needs at least one "context" image for support.

Also, killer detail on the feathers and eye.

Are you the Zohar? If not, you have pleased the Zohar! (See forum for more information)
