Default Looking at you!

I took these birds at the Houston Zoo - handheld through the fence (thats why I use an aperture of F5.6).

Canon EOS 60D, ISO: 100, 1/250 sec, F5.6, 55mm

About the Crop - I would have had a close-up of the eyes - but cutting the beak? What do you think?

I like the way it is. I wouldn't crop in and cut the beaks. But, if you get some more opportunities to take photos of them, maybe you can try and get closer and shoot some shots like that. I just wouldn't mess with this one.

Good focus too and nice composition.
