The extreme difficulty in capturing an image like this with clarity like this emphasizes what an amazing photo you have here. #5627337

Robert, you are way too kind, considering the incredible bird shots you have in your gallery! I consider your comment a great compliment, thanks! #5628758

Robert G. Stalnaker March 11, 2008

Thx but what you have here is exceptional. I am thrilled a bit of sun poked through to catch his eye and face. Just think, Richard, a fraction of a second earlier or later and its face may not have been lit, as you see there is no sun on the rest of its body--impeccable timing and photo. #5628832

Awesome job of capturing this hawk in mid-flight the way you did. Great lighting, composition, sharpness and detail displayed in this nature shot! #5774775

Thank you very much Dean!
You are quite tne nature photographer yourself (having visited your gallery recently), so this is a highly appreciated compliment!
