Excellent portrait and good detail. I like the "under the eyebrows" look of ferocity. I could wish you had gotten in the top of the head, but that's a minor nit.

A very interesting image. I like the angle of the shot and the detail of the bill. You may want to sharpen the eyes a little bit as the depth of field is dropping off at the level of the eyes. Other than that, I enjoyed looking at this image :toast: .................................Jim

The limited depth of field really emphasizes the beak, if you wanted better sharpness on the eye's you had plenty of light to work with to stop down by bumping up your iso. I would have left some room around the top of it's head. :toast:
