Excellent close-up, Bob. That little bit of fluff on the tip of the nose pulls it all together nicely

Great headshot Bob, eye focus is spot on, maybe a bit more DOF to render the beak a bit sharper to stand off the BG but hey, I like it!!

Thanks, Karl. I had to shoot wide open but at least I got the eye.

nice one for sure....just a wee bit more head turn and the wonderful light would have just slightly illuminated the bill....the eye is beautiful
