 This picture was taken on a farm outside Mosselbay. The natural light was beautiful and the "models" were very keen to be caught on camera!
I tweaked the contrast a little bit with curves and cropped slightly.

I like the lighting and the backround. Just a bit more contrast to make this one really stand out.

The way you caught the light off set by that murky green bokeh is really wonderful. Nice work.

Is the title refering to those sexy eyelashes? :-)

Great detail on the foremost portions of the bird. Beautiful shot of her eye. I'm not crazy about the crop - I want to see more of the bird, and less of her in the dead center of the shot. I like the background. Lighting is a little harsh too, washing out some of the color. Still, a pretty good shot.
