Fantastic! His flight is fluid and the sunlight through the feathers lends extra brilliance. Focus Magic, you say? Hmmm, sounds like something I could use. But this had to be a great shot from the get-go, I suspect. Brenda

Thanks Shirley, Colin and Brent, This is a tribute to the wonders of Focus Magic. The original shot suffers from camera motion blur which required FM set at a radius of 16 and the appropriate angle. This was followed by running out of focus setting at a radius of 1 several times. The E-3 files seem to be able to handle much higher FM settings than the E-300 or E-330 files will tolerate before degradation.

Even gliding he looks poised to strike. Wonderfully sharp - I like how all the feathers are fanned out to let the light into the shadows - brent

Really excellent shot of a magnificent bird

This is really a good shot of this hawk. Love the white feathers, he's beautiful!! These birds (raptors) have sure inspired some great dances with their fluid moves.
