Gwenivere (captive)

Trinity, Jersey

Gwenivere is a performing Harris Hawk at the Mont Orgeuil Castle through the Fontaine Family. Today I had the fantastic opportunity of observing these birds (Sky and Gwenivere) in training and this is one of my personal favourite shots of today. ps. I cloned out the jess eye (a small leather bracelet with a copper ring through it) but this is a captive bred animal and not a wild one.

Wow... great capture.

Great capture Kees! You can feel the concept of lift just viewing this image. The truncation, due to the tele', actually works in favor of this pose. And, you wrangled the light quite nicely. Gwen is an excellent subject - g

Fantastic shot. Do you take these shots commercially?
