Wow! He is looking right thru me. Hypnotizing!
Dave
WOW is right… this is the best animal “portrait” I’ve ever seen, not to mention the fantastic composition with the subject off center, the leading diagonal line of the tree branch, the beautiful muted background, the wonderful detail in the shadow areas without blowing out any highlights… A SUPER PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPH.
Jean
Stunning! A very handsome portrait of Old Blue Eyes. With photos of this caliber, I don’t think you need to call yourself an “amateur”!
David Lazar

Fahim

Trevor
Exceptional capture. Love the Bokeh.

I have seen this guy and have photos of him but not as good as yours. He always looks a little sad but I think that is just the turn of his mouth.
Flame
