    Wonderful action captured here Binu. Technically superb, good composition with an appropriate background, nice work cloning out the bands. Looks all good to me, well done! Regards, Ian.

    I would love to have this landing shot in my files.
    The BG is super nice and you did a great job cloning the bands.
    If I had one wish it would be for the end of the perch to be less blunt ( man made cut) but I do like the diagonal line it makes,

    Hi Binu, perching shots are far more difficult to capture than take offs, so well timed with this. Overall, tack sharp, and lots of detail showing too. Love that smooth BG.

    Gail has mentioned my one concern here (the square cut to the perch) but as someone who has approximately zero images of Peregrine Falcons in my files I so wish this was mine!! Great landing pose, BG, techs and processing. Great view of those talons.

    Superb! Great timing for perfect touchdown; wonderful focused look on the bird; good techs; and scrumptious background. Add me to the jealous list.

    A perfect shot! I love the concentration on the face, the clarity / sharpness & BG. Well done!

    Nice looking landing shot Binu. The techs and detail look great and I like the smooth BG. I too wish the perch were a bit more natural but what can you do? Well played.
