Sometimes you get a willing subject, good light, a nice setting and then all you have to do is "not screw it up"!

Thanks Robbie and Provo ... I was able to take about 50 images of this hawk before it got bored and flew off

OK - I pick myself up off the floor after seeing the first shot then you slap me down again with another knockout shot. You gotta learn to pace yourself or I'm not gonna make it! :rofl:

Chas - I certainly do not want to be the cause of any health related issues that may be cuased by my posting of photos ..... However let me warn you that I came back from our 8 day Florida trip with 10,112 images to process! After a diligent effort this past weekend I have pared the number down to just under 6,000. (by eliminating the out of focus, wings clipped, blown out light, duplicates, etc.)

Now all that I need to do is work the number down to just my favorites!
