Simply a 'wow' shot for me - Great timing with the call and having him stare right down the barrel is fantastic. Perfect background and pin sharp, it's going to take a better (pickier?) man than me to criticise this one

Cannot fault this one. A young peregrine doing what it knows best, making everyone in the immediate area completely deaf!! :D

Yellow feet shows she has been feeding well

Thanks for sharing

Ooh, wow! This really is over the top Binu. Super capture, so dramatic and multi-dimensional for people familiar with the vocalization of this species. Congratulations on a great capture. Regards, Ian.

Great looking frame Binu. I really like the head on screaming pose with the flared wings. Detail, exposure and the BG look perfect too. Very nice. Not sure if its me but I think this might look a bit better with a little more black added, just 3-4 points? Nice capture!

[Binu John]

Thanks again!

Thanks David! I've boosted the local contrast.

Thanks Arash! I've tried to fix the cloning artifacts.
