A reasonably common falcon across much of Australia.
Cassia Hill, NT, April. D800, 300 2.8, 1.7TC, f7.1, 1/500, ISO2000 (quite dull conditions),
Thanks, Greg
Dome very well getting this one out in the open and on a stick, I see them most of the time on barb wire fences. Impressed you got so close with that focal length. Lovely sharpness and especially the clear eye, background is very complimentary to the birds colorings
Absolutely gorgeous bird and the BG is just so terrific and goes so well with your subject. If you have the canvas, you may wish to try a version of the bird a little less centered. You could try placing him a little more to the left giving him more room on the right to look into. I am seeing a tiny halo on top of the bird's head.
Man thats a cool shot. Something about the head color that makes it stand out and look like a painting. The techs look great as do the details. Wonderful capture.
