There is a little glint in there as it is. I suspect there may be some
ugly digital noise lurking in the dark depths of those eyes, so I
don't want to pull the levers too hard in PS on this one. ISO 800
looks nice, but has limited latitude... :-)

These birds lean themselves naturally to anthropomorphism. :-)

When sorting through the raw files, this one and a narrow handful more
stood out as having perfect DOF, ie. that the hyper-focal distance
covered exactly what it should and nothing else. Getting sharp images
with this lens is not very difficult since AF is quite snappy, but
getting the entire DOF perfectly positioned when working at a pre-set
aperture is sheer luck as far as I'm concerned.

Not that I mind being a bit lucky, though... :-) ... But I'll have to
give some thought to this to improve the odds.

 Handsome critter! Beautiful image, but think I'd like to see a little
