One Happy & One Sad (View Larger)

Magnificent timing.  I love the separated feathers on the bird landing. Outstanding Bokeh.  Sharpness on the subjects is superb.

Great job!

Una maravilla.

Abrazoos.

Thank you All for viewing and for your comments.

Hi Steve - Not sure what you meant by the above comment but this pose was taken as is even though the background came out to be like that.  I guess wysiwyg? :)

Nice shot, Tanni... congrats...

Wonderful action freezing shot.... very nice creamy bokeh as well.

Magnifica toma Tanni. Preciosa composicion y excelente momento captado, con una sensacional luz, tonos y detalle. Felicidades. ++

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Great Shot Tanni!

Steve - it is what it is. There were two other people there when Tanni took this shot. I was one of the two. Yes, the female was almost twice as big as the male. btw, this is Thang from FM.

Super capture here Tanni

Thank you All so much for viewing and for your comments/ratings :)

Amazing

Hi Tanni, this is certainly a fine shot. Because of the dof and respective sizes of these two (yeah, I know that the ladies of the raptor clan can be super-sized) I thought that you might be getting poetic with this and that you were doing a bit of PS art work. Ansel Adams said "You don' take a photograph, you make it." And, "The negative is the equivalent of the composers score, and the print the performance."

That this was caught as an action shot makes it superb and certainly worth a 7 for "originality".  The light and saturation are not optimal for my tastes (lighting seldom cooperates) hence a 6 on that score. Overall, fantastic, keep it up!
