A very clever gfx member noticed in the first one in this series that these birds are not really free....which is true in a sense...but I can't change the title anymore now can I

This shot is taken at the anual Falconryfestival, which was organised at the Englefield Estate in Theale, England. This was the first international Falconryfestival held. Falconers from all over the world were represented at this festival, which was all about celebrating more than 3000 years of falconry.

nice capture
the angle is a bit harsh ... the superposition of the face of the bird and the face of the man is a bit troublesome imo
well done

I would have like it to be a bit sharper and perhaps some more contrast... but great capture....

Beautiful capture Ruth!!
I am impressed not only by the birds, but also by the expression of the owners!!
They seems to be so identified with the birds that they look like them!!
Thanks again!!

Very clever member? He was just making a smart-ass comment!

What I like here is the similarity between the falconer and the eagle. Well captured!

What could be slightly improved is the DOF and exposure. I understand the difficulties in finding proper angles in these kind of events.

another great picture, i think I like this better than the first, but I can't really decide for sure

The similarity between the bird and its owner...

Maybe a bit simple concept.

Technically it is cramped and begging for space.

Very nice picture. It's a pity the hat of the man is cropped.

Well done anyway!!

Nice one. I think if you darken the midtones a bit, the contrast can be improved.

I like this one, too.
purplerose said it in terms of the midetones. The bg is a kind of incoherant to the title. Some sky would have been better. Yeah... I know you have already answered to that crit, but it is somehow ... kind of paradox, still.
Really nice textures and details.
