[Deb Sulzberger]

awesome shot but so love the other one better

[Humphrey Hippo]

Beautiful shot.

[Danielle Greenwood]

Ooh I like this one!

[Shirley]

I like this one!

[emily tull]

super

[Carole Imes]

Love that expression...almost sheepish ;-) ....and if you wouldn't have shown the other one I would have fav'd this. Fantastic!

[Jane Pittenger]

I love both of them. They have such engaging expressions

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think both these shots are fantastic- still feel the other is more compelling.

[Harry J Benson]

They both are great closeups, but I will go with this one - here I see more of him and the 3/4 profile highlights the yellow around his eye more.

[Jen Hudson]

Cant choose. First thought the other one as like the direct look. However this shows all the detail of his feathers more and he does have a different look in his eye.

[cynce frantz]

like the predatory expresssion in this one.

[Anita Hoyle]

I prefer this one, more predatory expression! Both good captures.

[Mags]

Great shot of this bird of prey! Love it eyeing you! Nice bokeh background, too!

[Kerri]

Beautiful bird

[Sheila]

Love the intense look here!

[Dione Giorgio]

They are both beautiful and very detailed. It's the position of the head that is different. Can't say which is the best - love them both.

[Michelle]

I prefer the other one.. though this one is still brilliant.

[Pyrrhula]

No . love both.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

i prefer the look from this one

[bruni]

They're both very nice but I like this one better..like the profile and that you can see all the details of the feather.

[Bev]

This is a great capture as well.. I think I like the other one because it's looking more directly at you.

[Pam Womack]

I like the background better on this one, but have to go with #1 for the intensity of the eye contact.

[Deb]

Both are great, but like this one better. More detail!

[Linda]

I like them both. This one shows a bit of it's personality.

[karenann]

How do you pick between "beautiful and beautiful" captures!! :)

[Anja]

This one is great too!

[michelle mcintyre]

Fantastic capture!

[Arthur Loosley]

Love that beady eye!

[Paul Myers]

Oh. What a great closeup of this one. Excellent shot.

[Charlene Barker]

What a beauty!!

[Edie]

Very cool shot. He's gorgeous. Great composition.

[Lisabell]

Beautiful bird, beautiful shot!

[Tanya]

Lovely capture

[Helen Jane]

Actually this one is just as good. The bokeh is wonderful and that lovely large eye is so engaging.
