Peregrine falcon taking off

[Binu John]

1DX + 600mm f/40 IS II _ 1.4X III TC
1/4000, f/9.0, ISO 1250
Captured this shot while he was taking off. I'm glad that the adults were not banded!
Cloned out couple of dark spots from the BG.

Stunning shot Binu. I love the wing position, to me it clearly shows what is happening, and while I'm sure some will prefer the wings to be opened, I like this 'pose'.

The catchlight sets the shot off nicely and provides the final polish

What a lovely shot, nice intense stare in his eye, I like the wing position gives a nice impression of flying into the left hand space. Would love to get a shot at eye level like this but most of ours are flying too high above street level. Great exposure on him too.

You are "rocking these shots" Binu!
Love the light and the IQ.
Nice color palette with the browns and yellows,

Really nice colors. The nice clean background show him off very well. Good job on the comp. just the right size in the frame.

excellent pose, BG light sharpness and techs. this is a great wing position for the peregrine as it shows his speed, the view of talons is nice too
