This one scared me the first time i looked at it! Man! Good thing it turned out to be a bird! Creative but scary shot!

That was my first reaction as well: scary! Love all the details you see in the picture.

Putter from Belgium

At first glance, it looks like an abstract with a bizarre human eye photoshopped into it. :-|
Great picture!

Creepy! The eye definitely looks disembodied - that's some clever cropping. Reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth.

Really good to do a close up here. Almost can't tell what it is. At first I thought you'd photoshopped a picture of an eye onto a picture of some meat!

Thanks for the comments. Don't be scared, this is only a bird (about 4 feet high though)! I was very intrigued by the expression of its eye and the eyelash.

Great shot of this not-so-common bird. I couldn't get anywhere near one of these in South Africa- I am very jealous of this fantastic picture!
