Nice one Binu, beautifully detailed, the HA is good and I like the colours of the bird blending with the BG. Well done

Binu this raptor looks great on that very nice bg,head turn really makes it for me,wish it was mine.

Beautiful image! Sharpness and beautiful feather detail, nicely lit. Love the tones against that background.

I should be so lucky!

Super shot Binu. It beautifully shows how the bird is 'filling' the wings for the next down-beat. Lovely details, eye-contact, harmonious, natural-looking background. Nice work managing the shadows on the bird. I would be tempted to try a tiny bit of contrast on the bird. Regards, Ian.

I like the dangling feet, sharpness, details, HA and complimentary BG. Very well done.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Binu, love the soft light in this, together with the overall exposure. I do like the hanging legs, and especially the detail in those feet and talons. Killer BG to round the image off. Well captured.

Spectacular incoming pose with elegant HA. Beautiful colors, details, BG and composition.
Love the frame and his eye.

Regards,
Satish.

Another great take-off shot Binu. Great looking detail and exposure on this one and I like the smooth mottled BG. Very nice

This is pretty incredible stuff here !!

[Tom van den Brandt]

That's a great shot Binu. Nice BG and HA. Maybe a bit more contrast. Further it's just great. TFS

That is pretty darn awesome. I love how the bill is set off on a darker part of the plumage to make it show better. Great BG, techs, processing (I never would have known it had bands).

Very nice and dark juvenile. Do you know what subspecies of peregrinus this is?

The eye contact and BG is great too.

Agree with Daniel, good work on the cloning

Killer light, BG and IQ.
The PP work you did is excellent. Would never have been able to tell you cloned out the bands.

Impressive image! Lovely eye level photo of the raptor. Very sharp all around and a great BG color to go with the bird.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Ian; Tom! I'll boost the local contrast on the bird!

Thanks Shane! I believe this is "Falco peregrinus anatum" (American Peregrine Falcon).

Very nice and dark juvenile. Do you know what subspecies of peregrinus this is?

The eye contact and BG is great too.

Agree with Daniel, good work on the cloning
