Goshawk in action. I love it. A little soft on the head but it looks great anyhow.
Well done.

As Edwin pointed out your plane of best focus is a bit in front of the head (easily seen on grass), but that aside it's a great photo. I seldom see a goshawk and one with table full is even better.

Cheers,
Marko

Great shot - really cool to be able to see each tract of wing feathers.

Thanks,
I know the head is tad soft but figured with the feather in the air it was acceptable,got plenty with just a blur where the head should be :wink:
