Great capture! Beautiful bird anyway, but with her head like that she is so engaging.

This is one that I am drawn to the most out of your portfolio. The action and feel of flight is very strong. You can feel the wind whipping by as this hawk soars looking for his next meal...even though your commentary states otherwise:-) The blur on the wings for me gives the sense of motion while the tack sharpness on the head captures the beauty of this hunter with that piercing gaze. I have spend at least 2 years now trying to get a good pic of a peregrine falcon in flight(we have a wild one that I spot every so often flying around the neighborhood). Never managed any good ones. So that is another reason why I find this image so captivating and appealing.

Absolutely stunning details in this eagle portrait from the fine white feathers near the beak to the brown feathers on the torso area. That piercing stare of this bird of prey is captured very well.

As I said before - it is amazing what nature can do. Great capture on a rarely seen moment. I knew owls could turn heads but who knew an owl could turn their head upside down. Showed this to my kids and their response was surprised "What!" "Why does it do that!":-)

What a great image. You could have easily fooled us into thinking that you got this shot on the fly.
