  1. Magnifique. Remind me of something I saw on a small island, West of France, few weeks ago.

    PhotonQ-The Evolution Of Fly

    Birds of pray are the perfect equilibrium of power and delicacy , perfection and improvisation.

    Looking at your pictures remind me of a book from childhood. When I was around little-J age, I read something call "Le Faucon déniché". It taught me to spend more time looking at and learning from birds.

    And indeed, their is something special about them…some kind of universal fascination about them…something deep….maybe an artefact from our early ancestors.. =)

  2. Steve, you have broken into a new genre of photography. Keep up the good work in these bird photos. A great addition to your Bird Set.

  3. Excellent shots! Magnificent birds!

  4. love their wings…
