Wow! That's what I call up close and personal. Great job on this portrait. Wonderful detail of a beautiful bird.

P.S. I find the watermark on the subject somewhat distracting and would prefer to see the bird without it. Personally I find it detracts from the great photo.

Excellent close-up, Gaurav. Although I agree with Harvey on the watermark.

Awesome, good choice of the extra long framing. Makes for a great compo.
