Hi folks!
I think this is my all-time favorite picture! I took it fall of last year.

Please give me (as always) your honest opinion.
Happy shooting and God bless,

Hi Paul, nice action here, and you got nice light under the wings too. Is this full frame or a crop? I'd like to see them bigger in the frame, but that will depend on how much of a crop is there.

[Glenn Bartley]

I agree with Jim. If the details are there I'd go tighter for sure. Love the action though :)

Hi Paul I can see why it is !!! Great interaction captured Can feel the frustration of the hawk Does look like a crop but holding up very well Would select the hawk and give an extra usm pass Got a big time keeper !!!!

[Steve Maxson]

Great action, nice light on the birds, both in focus - good job!

[Fabs Forns]

Great action, it could use some more USM. I;ve seen this a few times, but don't have anything as good as this :)

The opened bill of the crow really adds to the story, very neat. Good size comparision between the two species.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions folks! How does this work? Is it too tight? http://lh5.google.com/philipburg/R8jEM0ohHOI/AAAAAAAAA0M/uhadwUGh3ZE/s800/IMG_8563web.jpg
Not sure if it's really that sharp, but...
