Great shot! Hope it wasn't hanging around for you... ;^)

Robin Reid		13-Nov-2004 19:25
Truly exceptional. I especially like how clear the eye is...you can see right in. Detail is of course well done w/your big lens, and the pose is priceless. In the meta gallery the thumb he's looking at is a blonde photgraphed by John Lester.

Nice shot Herbert! The 100-400L IS is a very nice lens!

Guest		13-Nov-2004 19:03
Awesome photo! Voting for this one, Herb, Really nice!

Dennis Steinauer		13-Nov-2004 19:01
Whew! I had an old aunt who looked just like this bird -- complete with the hairy black eyebrows, flapping jowls, and goiter. (But she was very nice.) :-) Nice capture.

Gayle P. Clement		13-Nov-2004 18:57
This is a well-done photo, but...ugh! He sure is ugly.

EMangl		13-Nov-2004 18:55
what a face - and how serious the thumbnail looks at its neighbour :-)

Guest		13-Nov-2004 18:47
Gawd, he is ugly though! Nice capture.
