One cannot help but focus on the bill. The clarity to be able to see all the striations is wonderful. I do wonder what you are hiding in the background?
It's not that I want to hide something in the background Darryl, it's just that I want your full attention for this wonderful bird and nothing else.
Thanks for the fine comments!
I wonder what caught my attention in this image? Was it the great contrast between the gentle white feathers of the bird and the dark background, or perhaps the powerful glow beaming from the bird or just its impressive beak. Stunning.
