Ah yes, Phil, to see more of the wings I would have needed a 300/2.8L IS, always interested in suggestion for new lenses. Now that is certainly a VERY good idea. :-D

Great shot Anna. This is picky (considering how well you have done to get this) but I would have really like to have seen more of the wings. Phil

Anna, A shot like this is difficult for sure. Nice timing and crystal clear. Roberta

Thx Byron and Vikas. I got a whole bunch of worthless shots yesterday and this one was just a lucky shot, that happened to be in focus. My camera locks up after the buffer is full and it takes ages until it's ready to shoot again. Missed a lot of shots that way. That is a Lanner Falcon and her speed in swooping down is really impressive.
