Artist's Comments

a shot of a Harris Hawk coming into the glove. Taken with a 20D and Canon 10-22mm lens @ 10mm setting. Flash was used in hi-sync mode so a shutter speed of 1/4000sec could be used with the flash giving some detail in the wing.
The talons were approximately 12" from the lens when the shutter was fired

very neat picture, but the flash ruins it for me

You know, that is something else Kev. The overall tone of the image is fantastic, and I love how you've shown us a side to this bird that not many other people would see! At 10mm, and about 12" away that must be quite a risk for camera gear, although I suspect these birds have a knack with accuracy ;)

I trust the handler SlinkyJynx and the bird :) Their accuracy is amazing

It was the only way to really freeze the bird at that range TH1RT3EN95. I know the perspective won't appeal to alot of people but it was an interesting experiment

Basically a real cool shot, I like the different perspective actually. Though I also have agree with TH1RT3EN95, the light makes it look weird. I understand you needed the flash... perhaps you could do something with the background in PS, to make it match better to the lighting of the bird.
Just a thought... :)

OH MY GOSH *is absolutely amazed* How on earth did you get that?! That shot is amazing!
:iconkiarasart:
*is confused* Are this his eyes?!?
I think I've never seen a standstill image of a bird of prey in this position. Though it makes sense the eyes are that way, it looks weird.
