Exactly! I would rather be lucky than good: I can practice to get better, but I can do nothing to improve my luck.Lucky shots!
Exploit the luck! Submit to nature mags, bird mags, and reptile mags.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Great shots! I concur, you should submit to a magazine. I have never seen any shots like that. Nature at it's best.

Susan - http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/contests.html is having contest right now....but I'd suggest submitting to National Geographic or Audobon directly. Outstanding, once in a lifetime capture!

This redtailed hawk grabbed a large snake, wrestled with it for about ten minutes and finally had it for lunch, but not without a fight!
Excellent series! I have no doubt the hawk won.

Beautiful set! I would love to know what the hawk was thinking as the snake was curling up his leg. Some of the facial expressions are comical - at least to my mind. Thanks for posting them.

Great Stuff! Not your typical sight out there. It probably happens pretty regularly, but I'm sure it's usually over pretty damn fast. My heart is pounding just thinking of being in that situation.... Awesome job :thumbup:
