    That's s cool photo!

    I've made plenty of photos in which a raptor in-flight makes eye contact through the lens but not one in which the bird is head-on with the wings folded back against the body.

    Not exactly the same but similar. I was lucky enough to snap this crow after noticing it coming at me out of the corner of my eye.

    Your photos show you're an expert - he "just" got lucky...

    Great pic - but I prefer birds over insects, myself...

    Your post processing is not always to my taste - but I think it works well in this case

    Thank you Tim. This is the original version. I like the earlier one more because it's more "in your face" and so has more punch imho.
