Steam Rally

I went to a steam rally over the Bank Holiday weekend where they had a display of Falconry.

This is one of a few shots I got with the Harris Hawk in flight. He was so fast I got loads of shots of an empty field.

Nikkor 18-55mm

Re: Steam Rally

Re: Steam Rally

Hayley, I'm coming to visit - I love Harris Hawks <3

Nice capture, though it seems to be lacking in detail a bit. Actually, it could be that my eye is led by the people behind, which you've obviously sensibly tried to blur out - but it's rather unnatural and very obviously edited if you get me, and it attracts the eye.

Re: Steam Rally

Nice capture. It has a real sense of movement and drama.
The blurry background seems a little funky though. Was that done PP?

Yes it was. The background had the same tone as the subject. So to make the subject stand out I darkened the background.

Here's another shot.
