Thanks for looking :)
Wonderful! Great action and sharpness. I only wish for a little more on the bottom of the frame to move the subject up a bit.
Edit: How did you get the exif to display like that? Looks like it is pasted from the exif reader from Firefox, but how did you get it centered like that? Code?
Hello Jim,
Exif is pasted from my pbase page and I used this tool to get it centered:
Thanks for your comment!
Very nice Nicolas. I would like to see a bit more room at the bottom, but I'd take an image of a Hawk Owl this good any day!

The first thought that came to mind with this one was "dive bomber". I would be very scared if I was his intended target.
The back ground is a bit busy for me, but the bird is so good, that I still love it. Great exposure.
Thanks
Randy
Cool incoming pose. Did you bait the bird or did you get lucky? Usually, I would find the BG busy but in this case it works for me.
BG is busy for me too, I am curious too if you were using bait. The eyes sure look like they are locked on a meal.
Ah ha. For some reason, every time I try to past that table from Pbase, it gets all out of whack. I'll have to look closer.
Thanks

Riveting eyes, sharpness, and pose. Most of the suggestions above would help, but I make none and offer only a "well done" for this amazing capture. And if it was not baited (see inquiry above), then it is even more incredible.
Lastly a big time welcome and a thank you for your membership support.

Boy this is really sweet! The birch trees in the background make it so much more interesting than a plain blue sky. Great job.
Thanks all for your comment. This one was not baited, I've catch his attention with a sort of kiss (sounds like a rodent).
