		| | A excellent capture of a beautiful bird.  A bit of a stretch for me to see a connection with sport or action. 5 |

		| | Perhaps relies a bit too much on the title?  Lovely picture tho. |

		| | DMC because it says to capture the moment of a sport..all this is doing is capturing a well taken photo of a bird. |

		| | 2 - DMC - Perhaps a sport in some circles, but definitely not a 'sports action' shot.  Nice picture of the bird but - not what you were challenged to do. |

		| | Absolutely stellar nature shot--great composition, very sharp. But it doesn't have the feel to me of a sports shot, though falconry definitely qualifies. Seems like looking at the photo you should be able to guess which category it might belong to. |

		| | I really like the photo as a stand alone picture, but I'm having a hard time depicting any actioin. |

		| | Bit of a squeeze to get a nice bird shot into the sports theme.  If the shot is about falconry, where's the falconer?  Low score for that.  Sorry.  Nice shot though, apart from the flash highlights. |

		| | cool image, but I question if you are "streching" to make it fit the challenge. |

		| | Very Impressed with detail and sharpness but could of brought alittle more background for added effect | 
 |

		| | Even if it was necessary, it's still unfortunate what use of the flash did to the picture (too much reflection off the beak).  Great picture otherwise. |

		| | Incredibly sharp image. Nice non-distracting background. Did you use off-camera flash? It's very nice. | 
 |

		| | Nice sharp photo however the band of light at the top is a bit distracting.  Also, as composed this is a bit of a stretch for the challenge.  For this to work I believe a wide angle shot with a person wearing a leather gauntlet and hand in the air as if they had just released the bird. |

		| | Great bird hsot, but I don't see the "sport"....like the handler, etc. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/14/2005 07:12:41 PM | 
		| | excellent picture, does not show falconry enough... | 
 |

		| | Good way to get a bird shot in ;)  Love the pose. |

		| | I feel this is an example of trying to shoehorn an image into a challenge.   Without the title, this would not work at all.   Sorry, it just doesn't meet the challenge to me without a handler in the image. |

		| | Beautiful photo, lacking in obvious action, .... Good luck |

		| | very nice shot, but it would have been nice to see a hand or something in the picture. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 11:13:17 AM | 
		| | stunning shot of a falcon - would have liked to see the "action" - but am not marking down as this really is a good photo, and unique. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 10:58:52 AM | 
		| | Wonderful close-up.  Very strong shot! | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 10:49:56 AM | 
		| | Nice eagle, kind of heavy for falconary.  There appears to be a bit too much grain showing on the feathers, Neat Image a bit next time. |

		| | Does not convince me that there is action, but the wing angle tells me there must be some. A winner by my vote none the less. Dof, Lighting and comp excellente. |

		| | Great photo. But I am having a hard time relating it to sports. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 01:53:29 AM | 
		| | Neat picture, but it would relate more to the challenge if the falcon were flying. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 12:44:40 AM | 
		| | This is an excellent photo but it just doesn't strike me as capturing the action of a sport. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 07/13/2005 12:18:07 AM | 
		| | never heard of it? Great picture. |
