One from Niagara. Handheld over the ledge. Composition was a bit difficult due a spike sticking out of the ledge, just left outside the frame.

Oh man this is wild!!

Nothing you could do but to witness such behavior!!

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great, great moment, it would've been great if the Hawk were facing the edge in stead of the rocks, but nothing you could do about that, so about what you could do, I think everything is just too perfect! Those feathers in the wind are such a plus, such a plus. Congrats!

[Milo Burcham]

The flying feathers really make it. Very nice

[Rene Quenneville]

What a moment! nice action shot!
To improve the overall image, you could clone out the feather that is closest to the tail and leave the 3 others in place. I also think that darkening the rocks will focus more attention to the bird.

Great behavioral image Greg and very well handled, love those flying feathers!
