this is a super photograph and again I suspect a spontaneous shot image, the light, colours and clarity are excellent and the detail absolutely spot on. As a typical shot I would take this appealed to my style of photography- capturing the moment that fleeting second you have to take the shot before the spar disappears into the woodland congratulations to the photographer

this image of a peregrine appeals to me set against the rock as a background it is sharp and the detail is excellent the photographer has done well to capture the moment so precisely my only slight negative is the bird looks slightly spooked on saying that it is still an excellent shot and a worthy top ten pick

this is a shot I have reviewed previously and I still love it for its clarity and sharpness. It is also a difficult shot to take and keep so crisp even with a shutter speed of 3200. I shoot often with the same lens/camera combination and I suspect this is a hand held shot which impresses me more, well done on your top ten placing

Brief

See more contest details

For this contest I want to see your photos of wild falcons and hawks. Please no falconry or captive birds. I am ideally looking for images that depict hunting scenes or the speed of these masters of the sky. Images of any falcon species including kestrels, merlins and any hawk can be entered. Eagles or ospreys do not fit the brief, so please do not enter images of these birds. I look forward to seeing your best images of wild falcons and hawks.
