    Default Red Footed Falcon.

    Amazing how the Juv. looks a whole lot better from the adult. Thats the main reason I focused mainly on the Juv and almost totaly ignored the female and male. Though I did take some images of the adult male. Got this Juvenile a couple of years back during the migration period when they pass through Israel.
    Their migration through Israel lasts only 2 weeks so one needs to be quick and lucky to get them.

    MKIII 500F4+TC x1.4 ISO200 1/800 F7.1 just about FF.

    Nicely composed and exposed and I really like the perch and the super complementing BG.

    Wonderful image , very nicely balanced,
    The bird is looking amazing over the background, the perch is special (sitting on thorns)

    One of the nicest red foots I have seen, sharpness and colour are spot on, the perch is brilliant- I have only got them sat on wires. I can see this as a post card or magazine front page. well done

    This image is a real stunner in every way, Danny, from the light to the perch to the BG, to the details and colors.

    Very nice! Awesome job here, the colours, exposure, details all look great. I like that you out the subject high in the frame, I think that you could add just a bit more up there (and then a bit each side to retain the ration. I love that you have clean edges on each side. Judging from the techs I think you could have upped the ISO and stopped down to get the flowers at right in focus too...hard to think of it in the heat of the moment. Highly appealing, you should be pleased!
