A boy and his hawk.

Took this at a recent visit trip the local falconry centre.
Was quite pleased with it, C+C welcome or just take a look

Hi - Its a nicely exposed photo but why did you not frame (or crop out) the bottom of the bird (talons etc) - Its better to zoom out too far in this scenario as you can always recompose in post production ... Paul

Cheers Paul

Live and learn, see what you mean, did cut the bottom off a bit, slowly beginning to think about composition

I'd crop it down just right of the bird to square format to make this image work better however next time include the arm and glove because thats the vital link between the 2 subjects.

Cheers
In all the excitement its easy to forget about framing the photo
Getting better though

Shame you didnt get its talons in, they are quite impressive

Still nice shot though
