Perfect timing on this beautiful takeoff shot Debra. They're great birds to photograph and you captured this one in very nice detail and focus.
Thank you Heather, I find hawks to be pretty tough to photograph. They tend to take off at the sign of a human even from a distance.
Super action shot Debra. Exceptional pose of the bird and the lighting from the top gives a pretty nice transparency to the tail feathers. The 50/50 compo with the blue sky and the subject make it for a very appealing shot. Well done.
Thanks Yves, comments always appreciated. The light was quite harsh. I played with the highlights and shadows a bit but the body of the hawk could have been better.
Thanks Scott, I shouldn’t have uploaded the imaages at the same time. They rotate positions when viewed.
Great action shot, Debra. We have many Roughies around here (Maritimes) but it's still nice to see them.
Thanks for the comments Jane. I am really hoping to have another encounter with a this hawk.
