Same bird as my last Buzzard image. Different light, and this time in flight. Gimbal Head. ACR and PS.

Hi Will ... very nice flight pose with the wings being symmetrically ..
Exposure and colors looking good as does the overall details , nicely separated from BG .
A bit more DOF would haven nice , why wide open with the aperture ??

Personally I would add more tone to the midtowns within the subject .... and more color depth . Why is the right foot as viewed so pale in color and tone ???

Nice one well executed in the field .

Looks very good indeed Will. Good and sharp, I like the DOF - it makes me concentrate on the head. For me maybe a tad more colour all round.... Have to agree with Andreas about the foot I didn't notice until he mentioned it. (I 'm going to make a post in a min - better check out the feet!!)

Thanks guys. Appreciated. The difference in the talons is one was in shadow, and the other was hit by the filtered sunshine. I suppose I could lift the dull one a bit. I thought f/4 brought out good separation between the subject and the trees in the BG.
