Jack Merlin

Arash posted a dynamic flight shot of this male Merlin and I wanted to show everyone what he looks like up close. Shot from my car window Nikon D4 600mmE FL lens with 1.4111tc, F7.1, ISO 1000 @ 1/2500sec. Thanks for your comments

Jack Merlin would be "prom king!" gorgeous image Glenn, such definition, pose, perch, head angle, and BG. Sweet!

Lovely details on this handsome bird. I love your comp, great BG, great light and eye contact. One heck of an image Glenn.

Hi Glenn, this is a great close up shot, tack sharp in good light. I'd suggest taking off a sliver off the bottom to lessen the impact of the white area of the perch. Well done. Loi

What a fantastic frame Glenn. We sure have been lucky with him this year and Sunday was a great opportunity for us. I haven't dumped my card yet but I hope I have a frame this good!!

You guys are killing me with these amazing images and opportunities. I hope the land is never sold or developped ( maybe you guys should buy it!:bg3:).
Excellent IQ and eye level view.
The BG is superb.

Great picture with lots of details and nice background. Looks slightly different with the ones found in Beijing, that have orange underparts.

I like the pose, clarity, IQ, details, BG and composition. Top notch image Glenn!
