Wonderful clarity and detail Debbie. #1099273

Outstanding capture of this beautiful bird and glove, Debbie!! I have a mean and nasty bird who bites. I wonder where I could get a glove like this one. No joking here I would buy one in a second if I knew where to buy one. #7292076

I'm thinking you could look online for hawking gloves or something along those lines. I have a few friends who live on or close to the Air Force Academy and one of them might know where to direct you. Too bad yours bites. That BITES! No pun intended. Ha!

I didn't think this would turn out all that good, because her trainer had her against an outside cement wall. Turned into an advantage, I think! Thanks for looking, Melissa. #7293015

I like that little cock of the birds head....really adds personality to the shot. The glove and the rope really add to the feel of this too! Congrats on a wonderful EP! :~P #7379586

You composed this beautifully which must have been very difficult. The colors and clarity are spot on. #7382957

Debbie the colors and textures in this shot are outstanding! Wonderful capture and congratulations on your EP. Is the bird a Kestrel commonly called a Sparrow Hawk? #7383976

I'm delighted to have heard about the Finalist for this one. He was so still and accommodating to all of us tourists and took all our gawking at him in his stride. Truly a beautiful bird.

You know Michael- I ran across another kestrel in someone's gallery...probably it was in yours! :) Thank you all, Phellos and Marisol. #7561792
