Poor beautiful creature - Nature, like Man, is sometimes quite cruel.

Reminds me of when I volunteered at Ohio Wildlife Center. Hawks are super resilient creatures, even though they use their super-eyesight to catch prey, they can still adapt. You can still get a sens of the eye in this one, and he's looking straight at you, not turning his head so his good eye can see you.

kind of a sad picture, good focus and control on the depth of field, falls out of focus right after the eye

This is a very cool idea that you improved upon. I guess not everyone finds the abnormally portrayed to be intriguing... whomever gave you a 1 on this is just mad their cat-nose photo didn't win the last open challenge so I wouldn't take it personally :) Great camera too (the D200).

Great Bouquet - check
razor sharpness (literally) - check
creativity - check
strangeness - check

Yours is better than the one on the Toronto Photo club site by far.

Great work!
