Intense

Here is another one from Saturday. I would like to know what others think of it.

Shot with an EOS 20D body and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS hand held
400mm; f/5.6; 1/200 sec

Thanks,

Greg

Greg, lovely colors from the white/grey of the feather to the deep, dark red of the eyes and beak region. The only critique i can offer is the background. A tad distracting and out of place for this shot.

Great shot and given the circumstances even better,

Jared

I really like this picture. The way you captured the the bird's 'expression' really makes the photo for me. Great job!

Greg:
I like face-front shots of birds. They tend to show a different perspective from the usual profile shots we commonly see. This is a gull, right?

I like what you have done with the colors. Great job, and again, I marvel at your hand-held abilities with the long lenses.

Thumbs up!
