Interesting that the lynx has domestic cat's like eye not like big cats with round pupils. And that foxy chick has the same...very cool...eye liked that a lot

All tight crops - which I usually like. The chickadee has a interesting pose - l like it a lot.

It's a great set, Geoff- the first four are all top-notch with beautiful light (especially in the close ups), but I'll take #1 as the pick of the set!

Yes it is all about the eyes. Soft eyes, obscured eyes or poor eye contact almost always takes away from a photograph. I think this post demonstrates that quite well Geoff

Thanks Tim...I hope these demonstrate the right way and not the wrong way

So did you notice that in the 2nd shot the eye is actually past the plane of focus and not in focus...that bugged me when I got around to editing them. Maybe I need to MFA a bit more to the plus side. Right now at +7 but that seems good for further away shots and not often will I shoot at MFD anyways.

These are so stunning...but you got to stop posting pics taken with that 300 f2.8 II. I'm now crazy in lust for that lens !!

Shoot, Eric stole my pun. (Eye liked the images).

Geoff, maybe you need an extension tube for that 300; I don't think you're close enough! Beautiful images; my favorites are the chickadee (for the unusual comp), and the first lynx shot. As Eric says, those pupils are really interesting. Elongated AND eccentric. Perhaps we need an ophthalmologist to explain!

Hi Tom, thanks for the nice comments. All I can say is that the 300II is the finest long glass money can buy in 2013. Nothing compares that I've used (I'm sure the 400II is similar).

Thanks Kenny, I found the chickadees just as I was leaving the park, they were moving fast but 12FPS managed to nab a couple keepers.

Love that little white fox. I've only ever seen one in my life. In Newfoundland in the summer. I was amazed to see it there, especially in late June. Caribou is pretty nice too.

Greg...yeah could have got the just the eye on the full frame image if I'd brought along my tubes!!

Thanks for the comments.
