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

Terrific portrait. I like the tonal range.

Comment by Cory:
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.

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

Thank you! I would be lying if I said that her images have not inspired my recent abstract macros.
