Gray Ghost

[John Hackney]

7D, 100-400L, ISO 400, 365mm, F5.6, 1/2000, cropped from the left and into a slight pano. Minor PP.

Captured this guy as he was patrolling and not paying attention to the human as they normally do.

Nice incoming flight shot, interesting head turn.

Fine capture John. I love the flight pose. Would like to see the bird larger in the frame.

Thank you. I like the turn a lot. I found I am into quirky looks with my photography now.

Thanks Will, I always struggle with tighter or looser crops.

Hi John,

The second I opened this shot, a huge smile hit my face! That head turn with eye contact really does it for me.

I am with Will. A little larger, and perhaps a little higher in the frame may be worth trying out.

Yes to a nice head cock and a tighter crop. Be sure to put the bird's head dead center when you crop.... a

Thank you and will do.

I like the tilted head, sharpness and would like to see a tighter crop as well. Very well done John!
