Aiming for 1 photo & getting another?

Hi There

One more shot from the Hawk Conservancy from yesterday. They were doing a flying demonstration with a Peregrine Falcon and after many hapless minutes spent trying to follow him around the sky during his flying display, and getting lots of shots of a grey blur!! i thought i would try and get a shot of him catching the lure at the end of the flying demo. As it was at this point he was flying his slowest.

Well got the shot that i wanted, but as i came back loaded it on the PC cropped it and looked at it more... it turned into something else.

I now look at the shot and feel it looks like the falconer is flying a "Peregrine shaped kite"

Maybe to do with the lure line and his intent expression on the falconers face as though willing the bird to stay aloft.

It started out as one shot in my mind and came out another.

Comments & Critiques as always welcome
