For some of us who have been using DSLRs and SLRs for quite a bit longer than that, you might want to keep this quiet. We're the jealous and petty sort! ;-)
LOL!! Admittedly a very lucky shot indeed! As they say, "even a blind squirrel ocassionally finds a nut!" :)

BTW John, I like your slight bit of more cropping better than my original crop job! It's good to get the experts on the case!! :)
I'm no expert, have learnt just enough to be dangerous.. Bought my first camera 2011, a Canon 500D with kit lenses. Joined the local photography club, became competitive, bought a Canon 100/400l tele lens, became even more competitive, bought a Canon 5Dmk3 mid 2012.. Was runner up in the 2012 comp.. In 2013, I was completely competitive, blitzed all five categorys and was club champ with a clear margin.. At 71 and retired, I have all the time in the world to play with my photography..

Hey Hoot, I can relate to both old and photographically inexperienced - I qualify under both headings!! Thanks for your interesting input!

Woo Hoo!! So happy for you! But..Does this mean you can't enter that one in the contest?
Thanks so much. Gee, I don't know. Right now it is also being displayed on National Geographic's site and has already garnered 40 favorite votes in just a few hours!! :) Then Tony Northrup wants to use it. This shot is apparently going to get a lot of mileage!

Check this out - #1 was just selected as an Editor's Favorites in "Outdoor Photography" magazine. I love it!!!!!
Wow! Congratulations! I have to agree with their choice. Can't remember if I voted or not but it is #1 for me.

Both are amazing shots but I would choose the first. The facial expression is great plus its less likely that people would see that angle.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Great pics :thumbup:
I like #1 best, with those amazing eyes and the eye contact... I think I would like #2 more with a deeper DOF to get the whole beak in focus, but the shallow DOF really works in #1 for me

Thanks sshinn - that's my assessment, I really believe that shallow DOF is important in #1, but I believe #2 requires a full focus of the bird.
