The title says it all and helps make this image a great shot. Lovely clear focus on the eye and shallow depth of field help make this a very good portrait. The only small criticism is perhaps if there was more space in front where the subject is looking rather than behind the head might have made it a little better but then again each time I look I'm unsure myself if its not better this way, being more 'in y'er face'!!
Yes I know what you mean Roger I was limited at getting the shot right time right place type of thing as he was quite lively. Plus I wanted to get in that lovely plumage down his neck. You comments are much appreciated Thank you
