 I visited a local wildlife sanctuary to get some shots for the "Wildlife" challenge, when this Knysna Turaco approached me. It was clearly intrigued by the camera and was surprisingly comfortable with me taking photos. It got so close to me, that I managed to get this shot, with a 50mm portrait lens!

Well there's something I've never seen before! That's worth at least a 7!

Beautiful bird, and the eye contact really feels like he's curious.
