Description
Hes looking a bit aggravated haha, actually in bird expressions this is probably more like mild interestThis is a beautiful Aplomado Falcon
-Edit- Im amazed at such an immediate response to this picture. Im very glad you all could enjoy this bird as much as i had.
He was at a fair that was going on nearby
Also this was taken with a macro lens and no zoom, so im literally less than an inch from his face

hehe, yeah, that's always a funny reaction. you dont know if they're happy for you or think your art is crap... but i guess that's the excitement of it all 8D
