I have been trying to get this type of shot with the bird coming in straight at you with the eye contact. This is close but still not the shot I am after. I actually got too close to this one today, got a lot of shots that would not fit in the frame. The light was very low and almost gone on the first two images.

1.


2.


3.



This is the shot I am after but unfortunately I missed its wing tips...oh well, gives me reason to go back and keep trying

Sheesh with shots like these you sure wouldn't find me complaining.

I LOVE the glow of the feathers on the underside of the wings. And eye contact? The dang bird almost hypnotized me!

I'm looking forward to seeing the shot that satisfies your goal!

Thanks everyone...Don't get me wrong Mark, happy with the shots but I want to make a large print of one of these guys coming straight in with eye contact. Like you say it is hypnotizing.

The last shot would have been perfect but I lost the wing tips as it got close to me.
