We were almost side by side on this one. :) Our predictions were off a little though. :) I love the rich warm colors in this one. Nice shot!

It's too bad that you cut off part of his tail and talons :) I love the DOF and the sharpness though!

great dof, nice color, small critique, IMO there appears to be a couple of small spots between eye and tip of bill that are too reflective/blown out, great capture overall, LOVED it
