Ok, I have to admit I couldn't come up with a creative title!

The following is a bit on the hot side. (intended)

Very interesting close up Shawn. Certainly not an angle very many of us would get a chance to see.
While you titled your thread after the beak, I think the eye steals the show. I do think, however, "ieye" would stink as a thread title - :)

I like it. Looks kind of artistic and it is pretty sharp as well. White birds are hard to deal with in bright light.

I would say the exposure is perfect as is your compsition. I like the upper left being a bit hot, it makes the shot more interesting. Very well done Shawn.

the eye looks like it could be a wooden disc. Amazing shot. I quite like it.
