A very very nice shot of this bird going in to land on its masters hand. Great position of the wings and the colouring underneath is very nice. Lovely shot of this great bird.

Very good shot of a bird of prey coming home. Not easy to capture birds moving across the sky but you have managed very well. Very good focus showing up lots of detail. Just managed to get the whole bird into the frame and I like the position as it flies in too. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely photo. Just a great pose you captured the falcon in. Wonderful color. I love your story, too - I was just thinking when I saw this and realized this was a 'domestic' bird, that it is amazing that they return to their handlers. But that is their home, and of course they would return to their home. This piece evokes that reflection on the relationships between man and beasts. Extraordinary that you got this framing without cropping, right in your initial shot! :)

Congratulations! We had a pair of Red-tails nesting in our neighborhood a couple of years ago. I never did get a real good picture of one; especially in flight, like this. Good job catching it in the frame, like this. Might have been a little better just a bit higher, but you still managed a full frame width with a full wing spread. Nice job!

Like your camera, I have had the D7000 just a few months and learning the ins and outs. Good catch on this beautiful bird, the crop is a bit close, good focus and exposure with a nice background sky.
