    Amazing
    Amazing captures and I would agree that the Owl eye (3rd shot) is freakishly cool. How's you manage to get so close? What's the location? WOW!! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    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!"

    Thanks!

    These raptors were part of the earth day celebration of Pascagoula River in Jackson County MS. They were being held by falconers, but I tried to get background shots that looked natural and cloned out any powerlines etc in the background. The last picture shows the surroundings in the relfection of the hawks eye.

    Here's the link wildlifeoutreach.org. This organization takes care of these birds.
