I love to take portraits with a long lens.

Ah, the eye membrane. I thought it might be controversal, and it is. Of course I did it deliberately, as it set the mood I was going for. This is the kind of art I try to create, where it causes a little discussion.
In any event, others in the series did not have the half-mast membrane and I discarded them.
Thanks to all for the many comments. This was a fun challenge.

I love the evil eye! Beautiful bokeh too -- makes the background look like a painting. The only criticism I found was the halo on the back of the birds head. Otherwise, cool shot!
Eye-catching(!): the partially open/closed nictitating membrane simply gives the nod/wink to this being not at all what it might at first seem. Wit and whimsy, graphically lush.
I love this one. Probably my favorite in the challenge. I love the details in the feathers and I love the eye. I also love the oof birds in the background. I'll have to check back to see what kind of equipment you used. Only minor critisim is that the top of the beak is a little blown out. I never would have noticed though if I wasn't looking for something to critisize. Great shot.
