Now these are hard to capture. This bird was chasing a hawk away from its nesting place. Its flight was erratic and was hard to track with the 80-400. I then processed it with teh Silver efex plugin...1/2 crop and a little soft.I was using the PP to try and save this image..

nice save imo

I appreciate how hard it is to capture these, or for that matter any bird in flight! especially in this case - if he/she was hell bent in chasing the hawk he/she would have been flogging it thru the air!

(the larger version and PP reminds me of the old pictures of secret spy planes etc!)

The pose of the cocky is excellent btw, really shows off the wings and with the feet tucked up he/she really looks like a speedy devil....

Love this .. Looks like a photo that fell out of a 100 year old album! Great treatment..
