Strange Eyes

I've been really busy this week, so not taken many images. I was looking through a series of images I took previously in a Bird Zoo, and fascinated by the eyes, so the next three shots loosely follow an 'eye' theme'

I took this image some months back, but was putting it through Photoshop yesterday, as I like the details in the feathers, and its unusual eyes. Its amazing that such colours are made in nature. This is the Scarlet Ibis, a native of Tropical America.
