He does look a little bit upset, but that's just the angle. Wish he would have looked up a bit for a catchlight. Good use of the flash though and a nice shot.

LOL at the title it does look in a foul mood though. Maybe you could paste in a scaled down person for (false) scale :lol:

Chris,

This is a very nice shot. A different perspective that works well. Love the feather detail. Excellent work.

I really like the roundness of the bird.

A puffball on legs!

Love this little ball of feathers. Very round from this angle, I like it.

Hah!

Chris, I like this a lot! I think you did really well. The lichens/green goo make it.
4 down, 2 to go.

I love the title! I like the fact that the head is straight on in that it is symmetrical. The green on the rocks does add a nice touch. A different point of view- well done.

Interesting view, chris. I like it. It's probably good that he didn't look up or you would have lost sharpness on the tip of the bill.

Cool shot Chris :-) With that long bill its like he's looking down his nose at you a little. The head angle is different than on a lot of head on shots you see.
