Angry Peregrine
On a very and universally grey day I was looking away from the sunless East and this lady came straight over the top of me snapping her beak like a sort of ratchet maybe 6ft over my head.I never saw her coming. Then she wheeled around and came straight for me again .This time I lifted up the camera she went straight past this time a few feet higher up. Luckily the light was nearly the same almost everwhere.I Have removed what she really thought of me several feet below her tail feathers!.In three seasons we have never seen her eerie which is somewhere up in the cliffs above but she fledged two healthy young last Southern spring.[Nov].

Outstanding pose... IQ could be better, maybe a bit more contrast, I cannot comment
on color as I do not know.
Great opportunity, I would be very happy with this.

Great opportunity and meeting. If it's a crop, I prefer a little less. Reduce editing also a bit, underside is looking a bit to....

Wicked pose indeed! Yes, the blacks do seem to need darkening for more "pop" to the image, and there is noise to be dealt with. But man, that stare is mesmerizing

Hey Old man!! Hope you and Janet are doing well, especially under the strange circumstances!!
I remember you sending me this one. Very cool pose and I love the piercing stare!!
Yes it looks "Thin" lacking contrast and bolder blacks.
I showed this to you when you were here but its been a while. I want you to try a tool in PS called "AutoTone" It's located at the top bar under "Image"
It allows you to see what the program thinks the tones and contrast should look like. Not always perfect but it give you some good direction.
This one was perfect and I wanted you to see what a one stroke adjustment did for this image. All I did was hit "Auto Tone" Done!!
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.
