Haiku - Bird of prey

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I'm a bird of prey
Swooping down to take you out
That's my way of life

Or an alternate could be:

I'm a bird of prey
Swooping down to take you out
Eat you bit by bit
I applied a topaz clean filter first, then a NikFX 3.0 Grad ND, then a NikFX 3.0 Saturation.

Akos, I think they are both good. I would pick #2 as it seems more in line w/ a raptor. Beautiful image and effect. I love that the bird is flying toward you and that the underwings are well lit to see the detail.

I'll be honest. I'm having trouble with this one, Akos.

It sounds like the raptor is justifying itself...sort of aggressive-belligerent, in a chest-thumping tone.

I think the words conflict with the photo, because the photo is stunningly beautiful, and that's the way I think of raptors.

How about:

I'm a bird of prey
Gliding on the sun's last rays
Hunting's all I know.

GORGEOUS image, Akos! Wowee is that awesome!
