I wondered what happened. Of course, I thought it was something I said. Well, good, now I can get it back in my favorites. This is such an extraordinary photo, Valarie. Perfectly composed with the eye in the upper left third, and added impact with the black bg, and the beak and feathers show amazing detail. Thanks for re-posting. [Keep that coffee flowing.]
