This went into my favorites, It is so beautiful Marcus. The clouds are so huge and dramatic against this lovely silhouetted bird, a very powerful shot. Alison


George Black   {K:101993} 8/16/2005
Nice shot, Marcus. The clouds are very well rendered--and that lone hawk creates a dramatic theme.

Cheers,
--George


Martin Halley   {K:499} 8/16/2005
Marcus,

A truly lovely image. How do you do this with such apparent ease?

I like it even more when cropped down a bit, somehow if it gains strength.

Regards.

Martin.



Marcus Armani   {K:35777} 8/16/2005
Thanks Martin, having been shooting birds for 5 years now, I am always looking for new things, this was just a hawk I saw in the distance and started tracking him with the camera and when he flew in front of the clouds I took a couple of shots not expecting much, but it did catch my eye enough to post it, I agree I wish the bird had been a bit closer so he would have been bigger but a crop to double his size really takes away from the clouds which is really what i was shooting....
Thanks again.....


Francesco  Francesco   {K:8101} 8/16/2005
Very impressive, dramatic clouds tones and silhoutte. Congratulations!

Ciao Francesco


Marcus Armani   {K:35777} 8/16/2005

Marcus,
Something a little different from you. Nice clouds and there is no mistaking the bird as a hawk even from that distance. I've added you to my friends list, so I don't miss any more of your shots.
Thanks Andre
