Looking in a very small crevice in a beach rock revealed someone was at home. The fit was so tight to get my camera and lens in place I almost settled for a phone picture.
Bring Out the Small Lens!

We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.
This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.
I took this shot at The Raptor Foundation where do much work in rescuing all types of Raptors. Many are returned to the wild though many are not native to Britain, they cannot be released.

Cool, that's a very alien looking creature! Is that selective color, or was the rock mostly gray?
Creative editing. I have been debating which I like better.
This is a neat photo, Dean. Nice job. It's tough to tell which I like better since both have their own reasons for being a great composition. I think I do prefer the fully color one because it places the critter in its world.
I think my original thought was: "What and I looking at?" with the color version.
And, thank you.
