Peregrine Falcon

One of a pair living on Sydney's (Australia) Northern Beaches that apparently have been residents for years. I thought they were quite impressive with their speed and agility and thought photographing them was nigh impossible. Cropped approximately 30% off the original.

Great underwing details and BG. I might crop it a bit tighter.

Love the detail and blue sky with clouds which shows off the yellow accents on the bird very nicely.

Good detail and eye contact, perhaps a tighter crop at this size, or you could post at 1024 wide.

I love the composition.The feeling of sky and open space is perfect.

Thank you for the comments and tips. All very much appreciated. :)
