I like the image. and the tele-effect suits to this one very well. The hawk is giving you the eye,. as a mark that he has seen you...nice detail in the long-distance photo. The background seems to me like water (?) -alltogether toning that goes well together with the variations in the plumage. Fine photo. Congrats and thanks for sharing. BR Hannu

Hi Monte, Looks like this bird is going to fly right out of my monitor. Beautiful clarity too. 7/7a Have a good weekend

Monte,

 

That bird looks like its drawn a bead on your position so I hope you ducked as he came for you. A fabulous photograph ( as is your custom). That Nikkor 500mm lens is just brilliant!! Very well done!!!

Wow love the angle! Amazing capture! Take care, Leslie 7/7 anon

Exceptional, Sir Monte. 7/7a. Regards, Lawrence.

Wow, Monte! F/8 and be there.... with your big lens. How else can you grab a shot like this? Fantastic detail; wonderfully simple background that complements the gray of the hawk. Superb! 7/7

Brilliant capture Monte! The viewer has the feeling that he is finally the... peregrine's prey! Well done, Teo
