Wow! The Birds of Prey folks should hire you to take the photos for their PR program...all of them have been fantastic! For some of us, this is as close as we'll ever get to these wonderful birds.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

He's different from the other one and just as magnificent. I'm loving very much that animal series, Patti. You're so good at this. :)

Patti, His 'Highness' (because it's a high flying bird) would be a good alternative. Stunning image! Regards, Cornelius

I like the monochromatic theme you have here even with the darker brown background. At first blush I was inclined to think that it was a bit overly dark, but it gives the upload a certain flavor..nicely composed, Patti.:)

I love how his eyes are so serious, but his mouth turned up ever so slightly. What a beautiful, elegant bird.

The soft focus on the feathers but sharp clarity of the eye makes this an outstanding photo Patti. Excellent work!
