Are you looking at me?

I was out doing some testing with the 7d. This was late in the afternoon and was facing the setting sun. These aren't great shots but I thought the Killdeer's eyes looked neat. Thanks for looking in.

f/5.6, ISO 1250, 1/200s, @380mm

I see you...

I'm still watching you...

I think that first shot is very nice Brad! Pretty bird great BG, what more could you ask for. Well done!

First shot is nice I like the compositon.

I like both of them, #2 is neat with the eyes, really shows what his field of view is, #1 is kinda cute too

I really like the first shot. That little bit of back-lighting is adding such a nice colour.

The color & tone in that first shot is very nice... the angle of the shot with that beautiful light makes for an excellent composition... interesting environmental shot as well.

Nice evening light, the second one reminds me of what my Mom always said about having eyes in the back of her head.

Nicely done Brad...love the lighting on both.

Very nice Brad. All ours have left for warmer climes.

First one is very nice!!

Much appreciated Bret. I did a double take when I noticed its eyes after looking at them on the computer.

Much appreciated Dave... I almost trashed these shots but decided to do some PP on them. I would've liked for them to turn out better but I was trying out different settings. Maybe they be back tomorrow.
