Nice focus on the eyes, Chuck and nice to see a bird other than a Pelican LOL

Cheers,
Carol

Hey, this doesn't look like a pelican!

Nice look at those beautiful blue eyes.

Terrific job, Chuck! The whites are spectacular, the blue eyes lovely and they're matched so nicely by the hint of sky at the top.

Special image Chuck - love the details in the whites, that splash of blue from the eyes and the look it is giving you

Love the capture of the piercing "stare" and the blue eyes, Charles. Nice bg, including the patch of blue color in the URC.

Beautiful Chuck. Don't think I could win a staring contest with that bird. Sweet blue eyes and a wonderful comp.
