Peregrine from the depths

[Bill Sharkey]

My last, promise.

Rising from the depths, this guy was in a rocket thermal and went straight up. Then he stuck his tongue out! :D

Shot with Canon MIII, 400 5.6 lens, manual exp at f7.1, 1/1600, ISO 400, on a bushhawk.

Thanks for looking.

Very cool eye contact, details and BG. I might lighten the shadow of the wing a bit and wish the far wing were higher up.

[Doug Brown]

Oh for a slightly higher far wing position. Another nice one Bill!

[Juan Aragonés]

Very good image IMO, love the sharpness, eye contact, pose and BG. Ditto what Axel. I do not mind about the far wing position because.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I'd probably place the bird higher in the frame, but this is still another neat Peregrine image you offer us.

[Mike Lentz]

IMO this is a wonderful image! I like how you can see all the feathers on the topside vs the belly.

Thanks everyone for you comments.

Bill :)

Nice detail buddy. I know how fast they pass by, good job.
