Wow! How did you do this? The bird eye tells it all... Even the shadow of the bird can be seen. Well done!

The reflection draws less attention for me then the setting around it. More focus on the reflection would make this an excellent photograph for me.

This is a wonderful image. However, the scene relfected in his eyes is just a normal distant landscape. Perhaps it would have rated better if you were able to have something better suited to it reflected.
