Another image from SoCal and Dave's truck.
There was a dead coot in the field and several raptors were milling about the carcass. This lovely lady waited on the sidelines and this is her as she landed in the field. The image is 98% FF with a sliver off the RHS for composition.
The only "bummer" about this shot is that I do not have that gorgeous California sunset light on her. About 5 minutes before I took this image, a big old cloud covered the sun and we were "dead in the water" with regards to light the rest of the hour.
But I am still pretty pleased with this.
ISO 1600 F 5.6 SS 1/1600
Canon 1DX 600mm
Had to do a fair bit of PP with color balance and levels and contrast etc to get the image as I saw it in the viewfinder.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
