A Hustle of Hawks

   Taken with a Canon 5D Mark ii, tamron 150-600 zoom handheld almost to the full length.  Background is a Flypaper preset modified. 
     Actually this is a montage of a single hawk who was kiting above me at the beach for what seemed like a very long time.  When it wheeled around and flew off in the opposite direction I was disappointed because I was so enjoying the display.  Then a moment later the hawk turned back around and flew almost directly above my head and kited some more.  Truly some magical moments—despite my very sore neck that night from looking up while holding a heavy lens.

Lucy, I really like the antiqued mirror look here. I also like the kiting behavior shots of the hawk. Very cool.
