wonderfull great pose. Just have a look at this guy his birds with a Nikon D200 + Sigma 300-800mm lens. http://www.birdfocus.nl
I think a Sigma zoom lens like that cost about 5000 Euro. Cheers Guido

Hey Marcus! You were right! Half Moon Bay is teeming with hawks. Had the family with me yesterday, it was difficult tracking these birds in a mini-van. Also need to practice, my tracking skills are gone! Congrats on this nth SC award.

If you can do photography of this level under those weather conditions, then, you are really moving from amateur to pro. What can I say... It comes to my mind to quote Aristotle. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. Take care buddy and congratulations for another well deserved award. Yamil

Huh. You want to see dark, cloudy, foggy weather, Marcus, come for a visit! Right now it's raining, and at 8AM you'd need ASA 3200 to stop a bird in flight. This shot is spectacular Marcus. I've given you an SC.

If any one had any doubts about your skills as photographer of the highest order this should take care of that.To capture this in that background light is amazing.From a technical point of view I put this with your best shot. In my favorites as a personal reminder as what can be acieved in murky background shot. Excellent image Marcus. Robbie
