Driving home this afternoon I saw this lovely girl watching over a field (presumably hunting gophers for her kids). I must have been close to her nest, because she was reluctant to leave, giving me the opportunity to get reeeeeally close.
It was cool until her friends gathered and started dive-bombing me.
It fits absolutely NO challenge right now, so I figured I'd just post it for fun...whatcha think?

A Ferrinugus Hawk actually...they're everywhere around here. It lost a ton of resolution shrinking it down to 150kb - it was originally 8 MB, since i shot it 12-bit RAW. I may have overused the unsharp mask...thoughts on that are appreciated as well.
Thanks for the comments Mark.

Very good indeed. Too bad it wasn't a flower. THEN you would've been able to weasel it into a challenge somehow. :P |
