Touching... n like how the half shadow in her eyes kind of tells her almost blind situation....

Thanks ya guys .. I had a hard time getting a good shot of her with out so much clutter in the background . these birds were on display so they had tables and other stuff in the way .. I wanted to get shots of her with her eyes fully lit up but it was kinda hard .. but she was awesome to see .. so big ...
