Falconer

I’m not incredibly happy about the crop on this image, mainly because I clipped her head a little bit.  There was a lot of movement at the scene so I had to set the shot up quickly.  The image appears to give her a detached air but she was very involved with talking to people about the birds.  It’s the freeze frame that creates this effect.

I am pleased with this picture of a falcon because I managed to keep its eye in focus while the wings were moving.  Apparently, these birds can spot the ultra violet glow of a trail of mouse urine from the air and then use it to hunt the rodent down.
