I like that you got good 'eye contact' with it.


(Did you crop it like that because it had a tag on its leg?)

It's all the tripods fault......Ok not really, Actually it was shot like that cuz I have this bird portrait thought going on in my head constantly, for some odd reason I just seem to do that insteinctively alot, the cropping was to remove a lot of access tree from the background....

here is the unprocessed and uncroped shot:
