 Curious little fellow...not quite sure what happened to his eye, but now he has some character! Seems to follow suit on my last handful of Free Studies in which birds are the star..which is strange, considering I'm not much of a birder!

Anyway, hoping for a 6+ on this guy, think he's a little cuter than my turkey, but the composition is lacking. Also suspect it's oversharpened...but I'm too tired to change it now.

Day 1: average vote of 5.5. Ouch. Nowhere near what I was expecting. Not quite sure why it's bombing?

Poor Guy. Interesting reflection in his eye. Looks like he was indoors?

A great capture, excellent timing and focus, I like the square composition too.
