What a great encounter. Showing a lot of interest in you which makes the shot.

A really nice image. It looks a little soft to me, but it's probably just lost a bit when re-sizing for the web. A bit more usm would do the trick nicely I reckon. Great eye contact and really well exposed.

I echo Erics remarks re the sharpness Tim but a strong direct shot none-the-less. I wish we had some of these around these parts.

Nits covered above; nice image overall - better than bird on post IMO with nice tones and lighting. :rolleyes:

Great image, agree with the comment of softness and a little more use of USM. Really nice image !

Nits covered and easily resolved, but a lovely shot. The light on the wings and face and eye contact make it :smile:
