Got this frame of the handsome Ferruginous hawk with Dave Salem two years ago in SoCal.



1DX 600 II + 1.4X III. ISO 2500. F/5.6 at 1/2000 sec. hand held from truck. processed with DPP 4.4. Hope you like it

Another great frame. I like the way the perch leads into the bird, which is also helped by the slight ruffling of the feathers. The 2 elements sit well together. Nice proud elegant stare with great feather detail.

what a gorgeous and regal looking bird. Not usual to see a perched bird from you arash! Perfect exposure and details on the white is fantastic. Love the distant mountains in the BG> LOi

Nice looking raptor, well framed. I saw them in Alberta 33 years ago and never seen one since.

An impressive looking bird, you have managed beautifully the convey his relaxed and yet alert disposition. The colours are just beautiful. A really pleasing image to view.

Hi Arash, gorgeous image, you can almost 'push' your hands into the white plumage, nice depth to the subject.

I also like the neutral backdrop, creates for a pleasing look and to me, provides better standout & prominence, anything else would detract from the image, plain & simple!

Aaah..., my favorite BG color.
IQ is superb as always. Good comp.
The ruffled feathers really add a nice dimension to the image.
Another beauty Arash,

These are beautiful raptors, to be sure. This one gave you a good pose and stare. The soft lighting really gives a nice modeling effect to the fluffy white breast.

[arash_hazeghi]

thank you all

Very nice hawk image. Good pose, IQ is top notch as usual and BG is awesome.

Love those mottled breast feathers sticking out to the left of the frame
