Mr. Kunguru looks like a wise old bird. Nice shot.

I feel like a little bit of the texture and detail is lost due to lack of clarity.
 03/16/2009 09:41:54 PM
Excellent shot. I love the tight frame.

nice entry

On my calibrated monitor, I can see no detail in the black feathers. I think I would like it better if some of the detail were available.

Nice shot of this bird, but the focus seems a little soft.

On the dark side, and the white on the neck is OOF. Maybe it is just my monitor.

Good idea but a bit on the dark side. Nice crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 11:04:49 AM
focus and exposure a bit lacking imo
 03/15/2009 11:01:34 AM
Good DOF, well composed. Strong and simple.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That's a cool looking bird, excellent detail on the beak and eye, wish the DOF were a bit deeper so more of the head was in focus.

Nice close up shot, love the details
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:13:27 AM
nice profile shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:24:39 AM
wish to see more details
 03/15/2009 04:54:20 AM
A bit OOF and not enough detail
 03/15/2009 12:02:17 AM
nice exposure on the blacks , but I am pretty sure this will not appeal too much to the masses here.

Great B&W bird in color. Nice expression!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:34:47 PM
A little more DOF would work.
 03/14/2009 01:04:49 PM
Unusual bird, at least I'm not familiar with the species, good composition
 03/14/2009 06:54:01 AM
did you sharpen with this photo...feathers lack definition
 03/13/2009 11:06:46 AM
Interesting bird. It doesn't really speak to me though. Not sure exactly what it is. The background seems a little washed out and the bird may be a little dark.
 03/13/2009 10:26:21 AM
Good design sense, excellent contrast!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:04:39 AM
The crop feels a little tight.
 03/13/2009 05:34:44 AM
Nice close-up, IMO needs to be more in focus.
 03/12/2009 04:46:14 PM
Good detail. Nice tones but wish teh background didnt have some yellow in it. Maybe turned b/w would have been better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:13:59 AM
I like the white stripe to break up the blacks
 03/11/2009 05:50:59 PM
I'd like to see this with either a little more texture worked into the head, or completely in silhouette.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting... It's almost a BW image until one gets to the upper left.

Just a tad too dark around the eye loses some detail but love the tight crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:48:45 PM
Powerful profile.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:32:09 PM
crop a little too tight in my opinion, and picture a little too dark
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:02:01 AM
Almost a silouette.
 03/10/2009 10:26:06 PM
like the catch light
 03/10/2009 10:18:32 PM
Nice portrait of the bird, even though there's a lack of detail in its feathers.
