The Falcon

This picture was taken in the desert of Dubai (UAE) while a man was playing with the falcon who was flying that fast and tight above the ground that the sand and the feathers of the prey was awhirled and lightend by the sun. For sure, that was not the only picture I captured to get this game perfectly framed.
