Stunning!

Very nice. I really like the way the eye compliments the smooth background. For curiosities sake: can you tell me what causes the somewhat darker fading of the background in the upper left hand corner?

That's a little bit of vignetting from using a fairly large aperature with the TC.

I like the colors and the close look at that jeweled eye. I might crop a little off the top but that's my taste and not a nit. :)

Very nice!!

WOW. Stunning detail. I'd be tempted to crop this as a panorama.

Great detail and BG. A little off the top would help. Nice shot.

I really like this a lot. The slightly open bill really puts this a cut above!

Harvey:

Very strong image, like a graphic design. If anyone ever needed a comorant logo, this would certainly qualify.

Harvey,

Very nice, colorfull and sharp. Perhaps croping a bit from the top would balance it better.
