Red-tailed Hawk (By my wife)

I've been teaching my wife photography and about wildlife. Up until a couple months ago she wouldn't even touch one of my cameras (said they were too complicated). Now she wants to go out shooting as much as I do. this shot was taken with a 40D 70-200 2.8 IS and a Tamron 1.4 converter by her.

She did well.

Great focus in the clutter.....she did very well.

she has a very good teacher. very nice capture.

Thanks guys ! She was off by herself when she spotted the hawk. She said she saw it fly into some trees , she then started to sneak up on it (I taught her how to do that LOL). When she got close she called me on her cell phone (I didn't teach her that LOL) saying it was flying back and forth from two trees . I said drop the phone and start shooting and I'll be right there. BY the time my slow old butt got there the hawk was gone. I think she did pretty good except for the calling me on the cell phone part. And by the way I didn't get any shots that day.

She did great. I hope you tell her so.

Nice shot, what is this thing with women and the phone

Couldn't ask for much better in that surrounding..Extremely well done!

That's a nice shot.

Well at least she didn't text him ...

Well, that's better than I did today.

Nice image.

Wow! She did exceptionally well. I'll bet she's proud of this one.

That is nice, she did great! Wish I had someone to shoot with! Although the phone calls would bother me...heh...heh.

She did beautifully!

Thanks everyone ! My wife is really proud of this shot.
