I absolutely love birds of prey and this is such a wonderful picture! So clear and dramatic. Love it! I am glad that the "comment bomb" brought me here to see it.

Wow, talk about eye contact. Wonderful detail on the lit side, and I like the mood created with the shaded side. Excellent!

OMG!! This reminds me of a fabulous portrait by Tiberius (//dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=25055)
I really hope Tiberius will not be insulted by the comparison...
But I love this photo. As I love Tiberius's.
The details, the DOF, the accuracy. Are just perfect!

Excellent lighting. I really think the detail you captured in the eyes and feathers around the beak are just amazing. Job wel done!!

Wonderful sharpness on the eye, great job! The softness of the beak is a little distracting, but no points off for that, great shot!

amazing, doesnt look real.

Difficult, the tip of the beak appears to be fuzzy. A DOF problem I guess. I also suspect this is a long lens shot. You really have to stop it down to get the DOF on long focal length lenses (recently found this one out for myself !). Also could you have brought up the right handside ?

Super macro. The light and dark works well.

I think 'stare down' would have been a better title for the image. I would have liked to have seen less depth of field to bring the beak into sharp focus with the head and to bring the feather line at the edges of the bird into focus adding a bit more detail. I also would have used the burn tool to darken the light area along the feathers on the upper right of the image.
area of the bird. IMO. All in all though, this is a very good image! I gave it a seven.

Great focus and DOF, and I like the vivid colors and the lighting of the bird's eye. I had to look up that word to see what the title meant :P

the attraction of the eye on the left is so powerful...almost drawing you into it's mind...can't help wondering what it was thinking when you took this shot...stunning capture!
