Description

Okay,okay.I know it's a stupid title.It's probably not even a falcon,lol.But I couldn't think of a title for this...and then I remembered watching "Rich Man,Poor Man" as a kid,and how there was this guy named Falconetti...and the whole time I watched it,I thought his name was Falcon Eddie,lol. Incidentally,I took this last summer at a Scottish festival.There was this guy there with all these falcons and hawks.I never uploaded it,because I didn't think it was good enough,but I recently found it on an old memory card and thought I might as well upload it...before it gets erased or something. Hope you like it and as always,I'd appreciate any comments or critiques you may care to leave. Take care everyone and hope you are having a lovely week. Always, Marlene :^)

A stunning portrait by any call. The lighting is just superb, and as always, the DOF and focus bring out each and every detail. Totally professional, and super wonderful, Marlene. It doesn't get any better!!!

It is an excellent picture. As far as what kind of bird it is, I think it is from the genus "Buteo". In Britain and Ireland, they are "buzzards", but I think they are called "hawks" in the US. The Red-tailed Hawk is a typical east-coast example. If you took this in Scotland, it's a "Common Buzzard". Sorry for the boring name, but, as your lovely photograph shows, there's nothing boring about the birds.

Thats a great shot you captured the clarity of the eye and have got a lovely background.. I would say she had just did a display by the panting which adds another lovely touch.. Bravo..
