Portrait for the female falcon

[arash_hazeghi]

Here is another frame from my SoCal trip, this is the female bird that was free of bands and more active. She wasn't as pretty as the make with a few displaced feathers on her head, but did gave a few good poses on this perch

shot with the D5 and 600 E FL ISO 2000 f/4 at 1/3200sec hand held processed with C1P hope you like it

Background color is really nice...Head angle is great.
This one seems a bit oversharp.

Good pose and head position. She is a bit grubby, maybe has recently had a feed? Great light and BG.

Hi Arash, I like the overall colour palette and the backdrop is pretty neat/unusual, but all colours work well. I also like the slight jaunty HA, but I think you could afford a tad less off the top. As the subject was still, personally I might have just gone to f/5.6 and dropped the SS, 1/3200 is a little high.

Looking real good here. sharpening looks ok. Lovely colours throughout the image and the bird stands out well against the BG.
