That is a wonderful shot! I work with birds of prey, so I know how difficult of a capture this had to be. Hmmm...actually sideways instead of upside down. ;) A fantastic pic of a falcon in flight...Well done!
Absolutely beautiful! I have a special admiration for birds, and this photograph shows the unique aspects of what birds can do that we could only dream of. Thank you! I rate this photograph a 10! Nicely done. -NBT
Very nice detail on the bird. I'd love another dozen or so pixels on the top, so that the gap between the wingtip and the edge of the photo was larger.
OK, I don't think there can be argument on this one. It's a great shot -- love the orientation of the bird's head in relation to the body. (Would have given some others a run for their money in the stop motion challenge.) However, I don't think you can claim it's upside down. Two comments on the photo as is: If possible, shooting from a higher position to make it all grass as a background instead of that little bit of tree, and it seems to have a bit of a green tint on the bird -- that can be a hard thing to remove easily without messing up other things -- it may also just be a kind of visual illusion. The bird might not be green but only seems that way because it's surrounded by soo much strong green.
WOW, great photo (love those bird shots!!!!) Isn't he/she sideways? Photo 10 +++++ Creativity 10 ++ Upsidedown 8 total 10 (this is soooo good, I had to make an exception to the challenge) (you really nailed this one!)
How the hell did you do this? Please provide some details when the challenge is over... I give this 10 and I'm only handing out 2 of those this time (but hell of a lot of 1's)
