Kurt - is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this Friday, and what a dramatic shot we have from Kurt. Incidentally, the picture was nominated for POTD by Becky, AKA ryme-intrinseca on our forum. Kurt managed to capture the hawk flying low above the cliffs east of Bournemouth. I suppose, if you want to be a perfectionist, it would be better if the hawk was facing the other way, but actually I really like the way it is - the hawk has more of a sense of purpose, I feel.The exposure has turned out extremely well, too. It could so easily have been a silhouette of a hawk, but you can clearly see the bird's details and the rather elegant cloud formations in the sky are well preserved too.
