You can say that about half the subjects in this thread. An eye is visible, but the gaze is somewhere else.

Your 100% crop of the giraffe did not cause any loss of image quality (at least from my point of view). LD, or Mike

Lame-Duck I have indeed had pine nuts More info | Oct 28, 2022 19:21 | #30322 Outstanding capture of the Barking Owl, ozulrike! It really appears so lifelike. Love those big yellow eyes! Fantastic close-up fo the drake wood duck, fotoi! Beautiful color and excellent sharpness. This is a super nice capture of the wild bobcat, Paul! It sorta has an expression of contentment along with authority. LD, or Mike

Please log in to see the good quality stuff. These look very similar to the very common Pukeko (below), but they are actually unrelated - one could say that it is an example of evolution coming to the came conclusion by different paths. The Pukeko are more swamp dwellers, so they are lighter in body mass and have longer legs with reverse knee joints.

[ HOSTED PHOTO DISPLAY FAILED: ATTACH id 1183214 has been deleted. ] This is all Quite interesting, Trevor. It's sad to see such a beautiful species of birdlife on the edge of extinction. Both your photographs are very nicely done. LD, or Mike

It is very sad there are only 400 left in the world right now. Hopefully they can replenish in time before going extinct. Charles
