    I just cannot express the feeling I get from your fantastic capture of the Red Tail Hawk. it is awe inspiring to me.

  • A.M. Ruttle replied

    Hi Flowers, I’m delighted and tickled that you are so moved by this hawk! I’m used to be a glider pilot so I get goose bumps when I watch big bigs fly… so glad to have company!

    Congratulations on your very well-deserved feature!

    Superb photograph! I just love this wonderful image! I have been stalking a particular Red-Tail for years, and I have yet to get a good sharp image of him in full flight. That has become my #1 photographic goal.

    Your beautiful “bokeh” background is “simply to die for”! This is an absolutely fantastic piece of work!!!

  • A.M. Ruttle replied

    Thanks so much, Gene; I have stopped for a lot of redtails, but never gotten a better one than this. Good luck in your quest; the process sure is fun! Thanks for the rave review!!

    so majestic. I can’t help but love and be so impressed by birds of prey.

  • A.M. Ruttle replied

    HI Pip, so glad you like it. This is a wild bird, but we have a raptor recovery center here in Jackson Hole, and I like sending folks to their short tour so that they can see raptors up close; they are so beautiful. Catching them in the wild is my game though!
