this shot had it for me in both the interesting and candid stakes. The piture itself regarding composisition etc doesn't necessarily blow me away but its solid and was the best fit I thought for the challenge. Good luck.

If she knows you posted this image, I assume your camera may be in a similar location. Great candid shot, excellent framing and focus and the B&W was a good choice.

Lovely portrait. Pretty light and detail and a straight-on pose which looks quite classic. Like the B&W for this, too.

Interesting choice of managing the effect of the harsh lighting on the white feathers.

Terrific portrait. I like the tonal range.

Well, I think this nails the classic portrait look. In any case, I like the bright of the eye, and the feather texture. I would have liked a wider DOF and while I think the vignetting works here, I think it also removes the ability to objectively judge the setting. (wild or not).. Still, very nice.
