life is funny good sometimes. i was sitting out with my dog on our creek when i spied a big bird heading towards us. he lighted on a tree directly overhead, and looked down just long enough for me to snap a few pictures with my olympus ep2 and voigtlander heliar 75/2.5.
i just happened to have the rig with me because both are new acquisitions and i wanted to play around with them, and the new evf that came with the ep2. i was under a tree, but shooting into the sun, which was shining directly off the hawk's wings, a not so easy situation, and i really didnt have time to play with the settings--just enough time to try to focus and take as many shots as i could. the lens was set to 5.6, and the crop is i think more than 100% (original shot below). just added a little contrast and sharpening, and dimmed the highlights. btw, the heliar is an amazing lens. PLEASE CLICK FOR BEST RESOLUTION

yup, she is watching me and my dog! a really lucky moment. i had seen a big splash in the water about a half mile up stream, then saw these big fluttering wings. next thing she was totally stretched out and coming right towards us, and didnt stop til she perched herself directly over our heads! she let me take about a dozen quick shots and then flew off...

Lucky timing, I wouldn't crop it that much however. Open it up until the point where the leaves are in on the left and the hawk is on rule of thirds in the right of the frame.
