Peregrine Falcon

[Don Hamilton Jr.]

It was amazing watching this falcon, terrorize the marsh, and send the coots fleeing for their lives!

Nice sharpness and detail! Hard to get nice sharp shots of these birds in flight - well done!

Don:

He is built for speed, love the tucked in feet
Well exposed, nice banking pose with good head position.

I might consider darkening the sky a bit to play up the subtle cloud on the left.

Cheers

Great underwing detail. I would like to see a bit more eye contact. Not a big fan of the square crop; I would trim a bit of canvas off the right.

[Mark Young]

Nice image Don. The wingspread looks great

[Jan Fourie]

Great BIF image with nice posture,light under the wings and some eye contact
