    Hi Chris,
    You really made the most out of this opportunity and I am enjoying the series.
    I love this guys baby feathers on the top of his head.
    Great pose. Good IQ
    If I had one wish with this shot is that you had been able to move a bit to the right to decrease the view of the OOF rock. Realize that probably wasn't possible if you are hanging over a cliff!

    Excellent capture! Not much fine detail on the face and I wonder is it because you used NR on the bird as well?

    Chris - another great peregrine image. Love the open mouth, he appears to be yelling at you.

    TFS,

    Hi Christopher, soft feathers have nothing to do with lack of fine detail. I don't know how much of a crop this is but maybe a large crop is the reason for the lack of fine detail?

    Hi Christopher, I really like this. The pose is great. I do think the oof rock is a bit distracting but understand you got the best you could at the time. very nice image.

    Priceless pose, andI love the greenery adding some nice colours at the bottom. Neat bloodied bill too. The face does seem to be smooth (compared to the eyerings of the eyes) did you selectively sharpen the eyes more than the rest of the face?

    Love the expression and the downy feathers on the head are super. I too, thought the bird had NR on it and was surprised to see not. Still a great image IMO

    Great expression and great detail in the feathers. Love the blood on the beak as well as the greenery all add to a fine image of a great subject

    What a pose this youngster has struck. Love the open mouth with the tongue showing. Remnants of food stuck to the bill add to the story.
    Comp is excellent and I love the greenery.

    Hi Ofer,it is not a large crop,but having a look again,I agree with your comment about fine detail on the face,but not the soft feathers comment,and everybody else thank you for your comments.
