Congratulations Graham Smith
Hawk Owl Flight

Took this shot on New Year's Day. We've been fortunate to have a Hawk Owl overwintering nearby this year. I spent quite some time trying to get a decent in-flight capture. This was the best of my many attempts. Do they ever move quick!!!
Nikon D90, 300m f/4, 1.4X TC, iso 640, f/5.6. The crop is right against the left edge of the frame, but there is more room available below.
Looking forward to your C&C
Thanks!

[Graham Smith.]

Thanks a lot everyone!
It took a lot of attempts to get one decent flight shot of this guy. I have since added some canvas to the left, as such suggested from my origingal posting, which has made a very nice improvement (thanks!).
