What an amazing shot Jeff! I love the dark mood with just a head has some light on it. Incredible image. I would print this as large as I could :-).

Great 'out of the box' picture, Jeff! Very creative. Many photographers would give up because of the lack of light. You made the most out of it, with a great outcome.

EXCELLENT PORTRAIT. indeed a large print will do justice to such a captivating shot. You can really connect with the bird - looking straight at you! Well taken.
