It has been 3 weeks since I gone out and shoot. Finally decided to go out today with some friends to go shoot. I really miss creating shots.
This is a Juvenile Caracara. Shot taken on the way back and found this juvenile sitting on a branch. He was only there for less than 10 seconds after we stopped the car. Lucky me getting this shot.
Edited on my new uncalibrated computer. Please let me know if the colors are way off.
Hope you will like it.

Hi Troy,

Colors look OK to me, maybe a bit on the cool side. Nice image. Tack sharp!

These are my favorite birds, great character. If my memory serves well they were a bit more saturated and warmer? sharpness looks good, wish the protruding part of the perch was not there, but you get what you can.

My favorite also Troy...agree with Arash that it could be a little more saturated and warmer....love when they are juveniles,,,,nicely done

Thank you all.
Yeah looks a bit cold. Colors of the Juvenile are different than the adult.
Yeah the darn perch. LOL

Troy, I am enjoying this very much - I don't know what the bird looks like so can't comment on the colour temp. Details look very good :)
