Sooooo cute! Great job getting a super composition together on this shot for wallpaper. I can zero right in on that sweet face and put all my folders around it and not even know they are there. ;)

i agree, the peregrine and this one are truly spectacular images. but i like this one better, i think because it looks like a baby bird :)) it's an adorable one.. i love the look in its eyes and the reflections in it! it looks so natural, but yet magical.. i love that :)

the details are fascinating, it's a clear and sharp image, although, it has a bit grainy background. but the subject is magnificent.. and it's a breathtaking close up!

thank you for sharing these stunning images with us! you have a great talent.

have a nice day :)

A stunning shot of this lovely little bird. Great detail and clarity. Think I can almost see you in the reflection of his big beautiful eye.

Better late than never so take my compliments on this one. Cool shot. I love the reflection on its eyes and the soft feathers. They are awesome. You have done well in the focusing part to give some dof feeling in to it too.

This is a great image. The clarity is fabulous in this picture. Nice capture here and I do like the background, it is not distracting so it has not taken away the features of this falcon. Great detail shown. Nice work
