Focused on its eye, and asked it very kindly to keep still. It listened, but only for a few seconds before it flew off. Close up photography is quite a challenge sometimes with moving subjects as some of you may know :)
That EYE!!! It sure makes me look the other way.. i feel guilty but don't even know why! Great shot Darryn... well done, you've surely achieved what you've intended in this pic.. WELL DONE
Lordy lordy look at that. What a shot. That's professional standard and beyond, I can't get over what you've got here. It looks like it's armoured and looking at you, and I love the amazing detail you've got in its skin (is it skin?). Perfect dof, focus right on the eye, tremendous bokeh background and the crop is spot on.Have to save and fave this one!
