Really like these images, I quite like feeding time shots and always love raptors of any kind. I like each shot for a different reason but I like the 2nd and last most of all. Little bit hot in a couple of spots in the last 2 but the contrast is nice.

I take it these were with the Bigma ?

These were definately with my bigma, was lucky enough to catch the big bird feeding in a tree at the side of the road, all are in the wild....I've been out in so many occasions and nothing to shoot, but today I was blessed with these shots....I do find it hard to shoot into the shy though and get the exposure correct and the last two do show a bit...thanks for the kind comments...

Beautiful captures, lottsa detail, fine framing.

The only suggestion is re green and red colours with which some shots seem overly impregnated. (I beg your pardon for using that word in this context)

crazyea,
Where abouts were those shots taken? I really want to rent a 100-400 IS from Leo's and go up to Brackendale by Squamish for the day and take some shots of bald eagles.

Excellent shots, by the way!

Falconry would be an awesome thing to get into. I'm led to believe it's illegal in Australia?
Awesome shots

Great shots of a wonderful hunter. I like the first for the pose and the fourth for the pose and environment. The second is excellent as well with great detail. Nice work!
