Preening Peregrine

This is a female from 2 years ago, prepping and praying for a good season this year.
The female of this pair had more rufus coloring in her breast and head are than the male.

Thanks for looking

Very cool Tim! I have always liked preening poses and trying to get them with the last primary or tail feather is always a fun and makes for an interesting and fun frame.
Colors, details and background look great and I love that the perch is clean.
Well done and i hope we have a good peregrine season. See ya out there

Yes, neat pose indeed. Rarely, but sometimes, an image works even with no eyes showing. Here's one good example. Although the rock perch is pretty neat, I do wish you had photographed in vertical orientation. It still works as is though. Good blue water BG. BUmmer the paler oof area of the perch was visible but no deal-breaker. Pretty cool stuff!

Lovely detail. Nice background and like the rocky perch. But sadly it doesn't work for me without more of the head showing.

The feather and foot details are great, but I agree it's a bummer we can't se at least one of hers eye. Lovely setting, hoping to make ti down there at least once this spring.

Love the preening pose. The way the bird is perched on the edge of the cliff is pretty neat. Nice background.
