Description
Both Falling and Flying are a fine, fine art.--
Ding Darling, Sanibel Florida
Red Shouldered Hawk on a parking sign.
Close enough to poke.
Its not technically perfect, but nothing is perfect. I love it and its flaws
EDITED:
Contrast, Sepia, etc.

Great Photograph. It shows a lot of motion which is sometimes hard to gather in a photograph. I like the colour also.

flying and falling.... parts of life. either you're on top of it and flying high or climbing back up, or you're falling, for just one night or for years at a time.... deep concept there, and both ends of it (flying and falling) possess beauty, even at times when they don't possess grace. everyone has highs and lows, and you captured it well.

I see hawks everyday, and I never, ever get tired of them.. What a wonderful capture. There is nothing too critique.., its perfect in my eyes. +fav

I do as well, -- well more turkey vultures than hawks. But they're so interesting : )
Thankyou so much
its not perfect (the focus is a touch off) but for jumping back and accidentily pressing the shutter release...
thankyou so much

I would say so. -smiles- I saw about 15 hawks driving to kansas city yesterday, and I know just how hard it must have been to snap that shot, because they are pretty shy creatures.

Wow. Perfect shot. The moment you did it too was just perfect. I think it's great too that you just captured its talons rather than the whole body. It leaves a little sense of mystery behind it. Great job. ^_~

Found this on the daily featured images, and it really caught my eye. I adore the unanswered duality of it.

Sweet work - as a meaningless aside - one of the first abstract thought problems my debate teacher offered was - Prove Birds Fall
My response, now a classic some ten years later and still used by my then teacher and now friend:
Birds live in a perpendicular (as opposed to parallel universe) from ours we see them moving from left to right when the pass into our plane of existence, they are actually fallin from top to bottom in theirs. They see humans fly every once in awhile, say when one jumps off the BB&T building (highest structure in AVL, NC at 16 stories). Great pic and thanks for the memory!

meaningless? never. : ) I appreciate the aside.. it makes my day to hear what others think of my work, and what thoughts, memories et cetera are stirred within them. : )
Thankyou for the wonderful comment and thoughts.
Take care and be well,

Awesome timming :3 I think photographs of birds flying are better off like this anyways, no head showing, just body. I love the claws, the best part of the hole shot
I took a photograph actully in april just like it, but of a seagull .
Congrats on the Daily D :]

I don't see anything not perfect in it. It's very dynamic. And, God knows, hawks are hard to get a shot of, anyway. I am in awe.
