Hawk leaps from tower

I got this one today near the so call "Japanese Gardens" in San Antonio. I snapped it right as he left the tower.

I like the light passing through the feathers. Good catch.

That's a beautiful image Randy.....clean up the bg a bit(IMO) and it's a definite wall hanger

Good catch Randy

Wow! You are quick on the draw. To get him that sharp was a great job. I love how you can see all of the feathers with the light coming through.

Thanks for the comments!

I agree in principal that the image would likely look better if the "background" were cleaned up. The problem is that the "background" is really trees in the foreground that I was shooting through. I've tried cleaning it up, but I didn't like the results. What I'd really like is to leave the branches in the lower right, and clean up the rest - without it looking funny.

I'll probably give it another go this afternoon.
