ISO 500
f5.6
1/3200
500mm
Manual Mode
Processed on LR and PS. Neat image for background noise reduction
cropped around 25%


All C & C's will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

lovely image Juan. Great bird ,and really nice background set it off beautifully. Maybe take out that cross branch on the right! not sure.

Fabulous capture, Juan, and the nesting material is quite interesting. I didn't realise they'd use green vegetation like this. Tones and colours on this look very well rendered and the IQ excellent. While the background is a little busy, I think the bird makes up for it and not a deal breaker for me. Really great work - thanks for sharing.

Ditto the previous comments, wonderful image. Perfect wing position and flying angle. If mine I would smooth out the background. Thank you for sharing, Juan.

This looks great Juan. Pose, details and exposure are spot on. I like the background as well as the nesting material. Very nice.

Hi Juan. Great flight capture, with him coming at you. Exposure looks good. The nesting material is a real plus; looks like he pulled it out by the roots.

[John Whaley]

Great in flight capture. Light, background, focus, detail, wing position, eye all working together here. Well done.

[Alex Becker]

Really nice, especially with the nesting material. Love the eye and colors look great here as they all seem to compliment each other. TFS

Brilliant in flight image, Juan. Great wing position, perfect exposure, and nesting material as well.
