not so cute

Next day on the beach the falcon crashed out of sky and hit a seagull as it was taking off to avoid it. It proceeded to eat all but the wings, feet and feathers.

Actually, I think the expression is kind of cute, Jim.  It reminds me a bit of a cat playing with a mouse, though I know it's just plucking the feathers.  Excellent image quality and framing and the flying feathers are a great bonus.  I don't know where all the other members are because this should be getting lots of comments.  It's a very good image.

Wow, what a capture, for you and the falcon, Jim!  I haven't been on here as much the last week or so, and so I missed this one.  Congratulations on WP!

Jim, congratulations on the WP.  This is a stunning image of "real life". It is well composed and the flying feathers show the action.
