Yep, too bad the wing is cut and I also wish both talons were visible, but this photo is still quite entertaining! It sure put a smile to my face :-)

[Judd Patterson]

The clipped wing and talon are unfortunate, but there is still some great action in this photograph. Great angle and extremely sharp. What we the falcon trying to catch?

[Tony Whitehead]

Jean-Phillipe, I would really prune the wings to focus in on the action. Just a pity that there is no obvious target for the intense gaze and outstretched talon.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Great action you captured and the timing was awesome. Agree with the previous comments but this is so unique and a big congratulations on this capture.
