    That is SWEET! I'd hate to be the target of his uhhh... affections though. Some serious hardware leading the way.

    Really nice...

    Very nice. Looks like a little bit of halo around some of the talons.

    When I see these images, I always wish to see the target too, but so far I think most disagree with me on that one.

    I like this also though I wish his prey was present. If we (myself included) are getting these awe inspiring images I don't know why we are afraid to include the bait. Sometimes it really adds to the photo and I admit in others the image is stronger if the mouse is best cloned out. If the non baiter's are offended they can quietly move to the next thread which is probably wishful thinking.
