its always tough trying to fill these guys up in teh frame. you did the rule of thirds fine here, but there are a few things i would try to get next time. the film, 400, is fine but it looks like you had to zoom in a little so there is obviuos grain. either you get closer or try using a 200 or even 100 film. also, from the angle of the picture, it looks as if you were under it and to the right of it. i think the best pic would be right under it when it is flying...but im sure you could nto in your position. the way the raptor is flying makes it totally vertical, which i think is a little weird because tehse guys dont fly vertical, and it is a little hard to determine the direction he is flying. i havent gotten many pics of raptors myself, they are dfficult becaus ethey are so fast and for the most part far away. good reflexes to catch this
