This young hawk has gotten used to me and the camera , i can now get to about 20feet before it starts to look worried.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great shots, Pete. Congrats on your friendship with the hawk. I have been cultivating some pelicans and egrets. These things come in handy.

    Love the head shot, the first one.

    Pete: These a terriffic. I especially like #1. Great color, sharpness, his pose is even great. And I like your matte. The blue sky is very brilliant; did you tweak it somehow? Could you share some EXIF info?

    These are beautifully sharp. Number 2 looks like it belongs on some sort of new age virutal money. Raptors are such amazing birds.
    If not now, when?

    Very nice! I love the eyes..
