Your detail is so clear I can feel his penetrating gaze! #5634656Kimber Wallwork-Heineman March 12, 2008
Thanks all - I had a hard time picking my favorite. So tell me - do you like this one better? - Kimber #5634726Aggie Villanueva March 12, 2008
I can sure see your delima. I like them both equally. The close up is awesome in it's detail, but his pose is so perfect in the first one. #5634745Denny E. Barnes March 12, 2008
They are both excellent, Kimber! It looks like you are going to have to pick yourself or enter them both. Keep up the good work!!Robert G. Stalnaker March 12, 2008
Kimber, I like the first one better because it shows a background that implies a natural setting for a wild raptor. The second one looks more like a staged photo in a captive setting. Your first choice was best, IMO, and it is a beautiful photo. #5635292Kimber Wallwork-Heineman March 13, 2008
Thanks for all the input. Both photos(and many more) were taken in the Everglades while I was hiking. This bird allowed me to get surprisingly close and when I returned an hour later from my hike he was still there. I felt very blessed. #5636534Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
