Red tail Close up again.

Not the same bird as the one I posted week for so ago.
This is Another taken 2 days ago while it was sitting on a fence post.
A wild bird, not a captive.
This is about 60% of FF.
Those beaks take a beating!

1/1600, f8, iso250, 600mm, D800, HH out of car window.

Some awesome detail in that head Dan - A great bonus to come across while out driving resulting in a beautiful portrait of this raptor.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful portrait full of details. A couple of hotspots on the chest to tone down, and I wish the bill was in better condition, especially the tip (we cannot always choose our wild subjects, especially raptors!!)

[Shawn Zierman]

Handsome subject captured in nice light, and yes, the IQ is very good.
I like the indirect eye contact in this image.

[David Salem]

Great detail on this portrait. Perfect lighting with no shadows at all. I too wish the beak were in better condition but cant have it all. Well done.
P.S. sorry I miss IDed your last post. Saw your great shot on my Iphone and the color led me to a rough leg but once I saw it at home I could see that it is a Redtail. Great shot once again.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent portrait.
I really like the head angle, excellent details, and very nice light.
Very well done.

Always nice to find friendly subjects.
