Well, another image from my trip to Córdoba, this wondefull Caracara, was perched on a big rock, good thing there was another big rock in front of him so i was able to get preety close without him even noticing it. I have the whole take off secuence.
Hope you like it.

Hey Ramon, To me the image is spot on. I like everything about it.

[Bob Blanchard]

I like this one very much as well. Great feather detail, nice angle, and great light.

Pretty darn nice flight photo! Excellent sharpness - the wings look great. I'd wouldn't mind seeing a bit more detail on the belly. Was the sky originally this shade of "mauve"?

Preety much yes Daniel, I just apply some SAT to it :)

Brilliant timing Ramon, with a great flying posture, good light, and nice and sharp. Your comp works perfectly too. Congrats.

[Mark Dumbleton]

I like it Ramon. Agree with trying to bring out some detail under the belly.
Some fill flash might have worked nicely.

Hi all, I have tried bringing up some detail on the belly but it doesn't really make a big difference.
Still, thanks for all your comments and suggestion, they are well recieved and aprecieted!

This is another super image Ramon. Pin sharp with good feather detail. Nice flight angle and good eye contact.
The sky seems to have a red cast on my screen, is this the correct sky colour?
