    Question Little Eagle

    Three head shots of the Little Eagle. These shots are taken through wire as the birds in this santuray are all injured and unable to be returned to the wild.

    All good, I like the last one best for the expression and the clearest of the three. The second one I like next as it has a good angle and very close up. I wish there were no wires as well. Even though you can make them invisible by zooming close in and shallow dof, it still is there and deprives of the razor sharpness that would be had without it in the way. These are all still very good

    It's a really tough decision and I could make an argument for all three, but I like the shape of the eagle's head in the first one, and the way the weeds in front of his head somewhat "wrap" the shape of the front of the head. I love the DOF in the second one. The third one is the clearest.

    So I can't vote. I can't choose.

    My favorite is the third one, the bird's eye looks really cool. I like the pose in the first one as well. The background on the second one is a little to gray for me. However it reminds me of those bird guys from The Dark Crystal. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083791/

    i like the second, however it lacks the clarity of the first and third. so i guess i would have to go with the third.... i do like them all though. good stuff!

    I like the first one best because of the pose. The eagle looks like it's either in deep thought or watching something very closely. It draws me into the picture. I like the deep of colors of both the first and third but the second one's colors are a bit dull. They're all very good though!

    I like the first one because of the beautiful curve (would cut off a little bit on the left side) and the last one because of its full colors, sharpness and expression.
