Took this picture in Cedar Key, FLorida this weekend. I love the way the textures on the feathers, eyes, and beak are expressed in this picture. Basic photo editing for exposure levels.

Great closeup of the birds head. Incredible details. Love the different textures that you were able to capture. The eye placement helps to make the composition interesting. "10"
very nice colors and focus, but the crop seems a bit tight for the feathers to balance bill, and the right angles in the backround clash with the curves of the subject. However it is a very nice shot.
Thaty background really is a shame - pulls the eye very hard. I'm just aware of those shapes all the time I try to look at the capture of teh bird. Good work on the exposure, and it's a very accurate rendition, good sense of the construction of its beak, and the differing textures there. But that thing in the back is murdering what might have been a top image. A shame, too.
Terrific rendition of the feather texture. And he stood still long enough for you to gete the shot. If you only could have gotten a catchlight this would be perfect. Nevertheless, it's still a great 7.
