Wow! I hope you paid that model WELL! Exquisite timing - or is this the "famous" sound trigger that was discussed on the forum? :-D

To me this is not "at a distance" - I get it that you probably weren't following in an airplane, but for the challenge I am "expecting" to see things further away. That's just my interpretation.
Are those things on the wings tags?

Beautiful amount of detail capture on the feathers and a great composition. Good job!

The hawk's (I figure) pose is wonderful. The branch, topped with snow, likewise. I especially like how the cryptic pattern on the hawk's back is akin to that of the bark. Must have been enchanting to see this.

One of two balloon burst shots both with great concepts, I love the amount effort this must have taken to get right. Great expression on the subject too!

I'm curious how the burst was achieved :)

Absolutely stunning! I love the negative space on the right, the look on the face, the falling snow. There's only one thing I would have changed: I know it's an overcast day, but I would have added a bit of warmth to the shot. They're such a beautiful color, and while an overcast day cools things down a lot, there still should be some warmth to the tones, imo.

Wonderful framing. Normally this wouldn't work for me, but something about all the angles in this give the impression I am having trouble maintaining my balance.
