    Man! What a shot. You captured as well as anything I've ever seen, the savagery of nature. The body language of the bird, the eye and the blood. Man! What a shot.

    Thanks guys !

    Looking through the shots, it does look like to me that from certain angle, the hawk just does not look like a bird anymore.

    I have only been close to one juvenile Goshawk, but it was perched. You are very lucky to have witnessed that scene and captured it flawlessly !

    Wow, that is a fantastic shot! You caught the fierce reality of the hunt perfectly, definitely a wall hanger.

    Oh, yeah! Gotta love that pose!

    I like this image the best. But Paul and I already submitted a shot from your other thread for the featured image of the week. But if this were mine, I would definitely make some large prints from this one.

    Not sure about large print since this is quite a big crop :blush2: 8x10 should be ok.

    Congrats on the Featured Photo. This whole series has put up some fantastic shots. I'm sure glad I'm bigger than a duck. - TF

    Beautiful shot. And great timing with him staring right at you! I just wish there were more of them around where I am.

    Those legs really look powerful. I wouldn't want to argue with that bird.
