Merlin take off

This is another frame from the pretty female Merlin I photographed with Dave Salem the weekend after thanksgiving. She was very cooperative and let us pull up to her really close. Had to take off the TC to fit her in the frame

This is excellent Arash.
I absolutely love the splayed feet and that BG is a photographers dream.
Really like this pose and the diagonal lines within the image.
Top notch stuff from you and David S.

Arash:

She is a beauty, with good comments from Gail, agree about the splayed feet, angle in frame.

On my monitor, the image looks like it could go 1/3 of a stop brighter, to give it a bit more snap.

Cheers

She gave you a perfect flight angle/head angle. Well captured, with lovely bg and your usual top-notch IQ. Love the feet.

Excellent image Arash! I like the sharpness, take off pose, details, composition and complimentary BG.

Arash, this is stunning! Simply super BIF and the pose and HA are to die for!!! Very nicely done!!! TFS. Loved it.

[David Salem]

What a fun few days we had with her!! Glad you got some nice frames and this one looks great. The hanging feet really look cool and the BG really sets her off nicely. Could go a little brighter on my monitor. Well done

Love everything about this shot,the BG is pure magic,great take off pose and perch,good IQ.

[WillieHall]

great timing on this, agree with all above. Just got the 7D Mark II and downloaded DPP 4. I sold my 7D and had used old DPP with the guide I purchased from you and Arthur. Any chance you would upgrade at a price break? DPP 4 is a lot more confusing to me and need the help.

Thanks everyone for the comments
