An animal I have always wanted to photograph in the wild, but sadly, have not had the opportunity. Taken a while back, this well know 'Wol' :biggrin: had just landed.

On reflection I think some of my postings look 'quite good' because they are in rather 'nice' locations and one gets carried away with the overall image. However, looking more to home and other images posted by members it is more of a 'reality check' and reminds me that we do have a huge variety of animals on our doorstep just as photogenic :eek: :wavey:

I think a pop of flash would have helped take the shadows from under the wings and given a glint in the eye-great colour sky

I can see this as a nice advertising shot for a Falconers centre

agree about the flash, but nevertheless well done!

Agree with other comments.

Cheers, Graham.
