Birds of Prey, a Wolf and a Dog

I went to my local village's May Pageant this weekend. Had a parade lots of craft stalls, bounce castle that sort of thing.

However they also have some birds of prey and some wolfs, and spend most of the afternoon photography them and ignoring the rest.

Here is I think the better shots that I did.

Even took a good one of my dog as well

Hope you like them. Comments are most welcome..

Paul

Re: Birds of Prey, a Wolf and a Dog

I like the 2nd one a lot. Great capture - nailed the eyes.

It's a shame the light wasn't a bit lower to catch the wolf's eyes. Lovely shots though.

Agree with Tobers about the eyes.

Great photographs.

Cheers.

Re: Birds of Prey, a Wolf and a Dog

some great shots their, two and three are crackers. the wolf one is good also, just a shame about the cage in the background? If it was possible I would have tried moving to another angle to get the wolf with a more natural pleasing background. Other than that top shots.

Re: Birds of Prey, a Wolf and a Dog

Thanks for your comments folks

The 2nd Bird is my Fav as well. That is going to be hanging on my wall soon!

I know about the cage in the Wolf Picture, I did try different angles but was difficult as there was a large truck behind them!

Thanks again

Paul
