You've captured the majesty,spirit, and beauty of this bird. The clarity, tones, textures and composition are exceptional.

This is one amazing wildlife picture. This will ribbon.
01/31/2006 10:29:49 PM
Great detail. Nice job.
01/31/2006 06:32:31 PM
Such a tight crop does not indicate if the bird is living in it's natural environment or in a cage. A looser crop would have been more appropriate as per the challenge description.

Wow, this is a terrific composition, I just wish I could see the detail in the bird. We're just drawn to the head forst and then to the amazing cloak and to not be able to really study it is a shame.

the textue is amazing!!
01/31/2006 08:49:15 AM

01/30/2006 11:00:05 PM

great color and composition.
01/29/2006 05:59:23 PM
One of my top choices. I just love the soft colors and how well they work with his soft feathers. Love the bird's expression too. Just wonderful. A 10 from me.
01/29/2006 04:05:15 PM
This one is the best so far -10
01/29/2006 03:25:53 AM
Great shot!
01/29/2006 01:56:35 AM
gorgeous... and I love the soft filter
01/28/2006 02:42:18 PM
wonderful soft rendering of earth tones .... almost makes this predator cuddly ... terrific!
01/28/2006 08:08:13 AM
Wow, he looks like he has a fur coat on, great image.....
01/28/2006 01:12:43 AM
I don't care if this was taken in the wild, on a reserve, or in a zoo....... I have rarely seen a photo more breath-takenly rendered .
01/28/2006 12:45:39 AM
Majestic!
01/27/2006 10:51:29 PM
STUNNING! WOW
01/27/2006 06:52:45 PM
This looks like he was posing for a formal portrait. I love the focus, colors and composition. Probably my favorite in the whole challenge for me. (excluding my entry of course)
01/27/2006 02:58:08 PM
only thing I could see to improve this shot is his lower beak seems to blend into background, otherwise great capture
01/27/2006 01:10:41 PM
Great detail!
01/26/2006 06:23:04 PM
Looks like a ribbon to me. Nice photo
01/26/2006 06:08:32 PM
nice work
01/26/2006 05:31:33 PM
Nice capture of a pose, soft feel of neck feathers. Slightly sharper and brighter levels would help, as overall image feels too dark.
01/26/2006 05:12:22 PM
Looks slightly underexposed. Which is a shame because otherwise it's an excellent picture and one of my favorites from this challenge. 8
01/26/2006 03:32:05 PM
Wow, Lovely picture. For being portrayed as such a vicious predator, you sure brought out the softer, more glamorous side. Well done!
01/26/2006 10:58:01 AM
magnificant !
01/26/2006 09:40:26 AM
Must be a zoo shot but a wonderful picture none the less.
01/26/2006 03:42:12 AM
Great shot and wonderful humour. Deserves high placing.
01/25/2006 10:35:18 PM
Beautiful colors and clarity.
01/25/2006 10:24:04 PM
Nice shot
01/25/2006 05:54:23 PM
How pretty. Great job not blowing the highlights.
01/25/2006 05:46:38 PM
I don't know if this is actually in the wild or not - but it's such a magnificent shot - WOW! Perfect focus & lighting. Love the rich natural color tones. Have to give you the benefit of the doubt regarding natural environment. 10
01/25/2006 05:09:45 PM
the head looks like it's been worked on too much, or is that me? good shot though
01/25/2006 03:49:45 PM
well done , nice touch with the catchlight in the Eye
01/25/2006 03:09:31 PM
Great shot! Perhaps a little dark but great detail for the level of light. Thanks for sharing.
01/25/2006 03:06:55 PM
seems about a 1/2 stop under exposed...
01/25/2006 10:01:49 AM
Beautiful shot, i love the detail on the head/face.
01/25/2006 03:13:43 AM
looks amazing.. very strong
01/25/2006 02:18:39 AM
WOW. Great rich colors and wonderful lighting.
01/25/2006 01:35:13 AM
Awesome shot you took there. Taken that close it leads me to believe that it's not "wild". Otherwise this is perfect.
01/25/2006 01:05:56 AM

01/25/2006 12:45:42 AM
