Nice closeup on the rwbb. I like the background a lot with the textures and shapes.

on this monitor, I can't see the eye--is it closed?

Interesting-looking bird, no idea what it is. I wish the eye was more visible, though.

The photo would be better if there was more detail around the eye. The beak being open is really cool. Good photo.

You caught a GREAT pose. On this monitor, it looks like just a little too much shadow/highlight or levels was used to bring out the separation of the wing feathers - just a tad washed out. Most monitors are darker than this one, though, so it may not be as visible. Bokeh is excellent.
