    Been A while since I posted here..
    I took this yesterday at Ridgefield NWR, Washington state.
    I had never seen this species in the Willamette Valley, I thought at first it
    was a Leucistic Red Tail...
    It was striking!

    600mm, f7.1, 1/800, iso640
    Large Crop

    It might be a fair crop but the details are holding up well, so no issues from me there. Really nice bird and a nice shooting angle

    What a beautiful individual this is! It looks great in the grass too. Large crop held up, but looks on the edge. Welcome back indeed, nice to see you posting again

    I like the natural setting, pose and vertical composition. Welcome back Dan.
    Look forward to seeing more of your images.

    Nice looking bird - maybe 1200px high would improve quality a tad but it does look pretty good.

    Very nice look at this species. Details held up decently - not perfectly - and the image has a slight pink cast to my eyes. I like how he's slotted in between the foreground and background grasses.
