Great capture!! The light on the hawk is wonderful. So cool that he's surrounded by starlings.

WOW!.....I love how the light is centred on that Hawk Lyn!.....Amazing capture! : )

What an amazing catch. Like the hawk is leading the starlings to their destination. I never saw anything like that before. Most impressive! Fav.
posted October 11th, 2012  
Wonderful lighting on the hawk!! He'd certainly got the choice of food,there!!
posted October 11th, 2012  
Wow - who's hunting and who's being hunted?
posted October 11th, 2012  
Ilove how the light seems to pic just one bird, the closest one to you and that the bird is holding his wings wide open to capture all the sun he can. A FAV!
posted October 11th, 2012  
This is very very cool.
posted October 11th, 2012

Gosh what a shot! Reminds me of 'Avatar' !
posted October 11th, 2012  
What a great capture Lyn! And the way the light catches the hawk makes it stand out so perfectly. I imagine it felt totally overwhelmed by the flock of starlings.
posted October 11th, 2012  
Wow! Great capture!!
posted October 11th, 2012

@gphelps5 You know, sometimes I think that my life is a bit confined, living in a suburban piece of the US. . . it's 365 that has opened up my entire world, my eyes and my mind to all that is incredible in my life. This was an everyday evening walk with the pups, no shot for the day and feeling down and blue, when nature just took over. I was LUCKY. And btw, as a special connection: did you know that you were my very first follower on 365? Bless you, again, for the pleasure, support and friendship you've brought to me here. Happy Anniversary again. . .

Seeing this on the favorite fav reminded me that I had forgot to comment on it. Awesome clarity and sharpness, and the light on the hawk is very beautiful. A fav from me too.
posted October 12th, 2012  
Awesome!
posted October 12th, 2012  
Wow, how did that happen and how can you tell who followed you first? My list looks to be in a random order?

And thank you again for your such kind words...
