Another capture that was taken in the Pantanal Brazil. There are many raptors to be seen in this part of the world and many different species that we do not see here.
This is a beautifull image of a falcon I am unfamiliar with. Good dof, nice perch and bg. I do wish the bird had giveen you a slightly better head angle, thought it is ok as presented. I might brighten the midtones a llittle and give it a S/H adjustment to bring out more detail and lessen the shadows in both the plumage and the perch, I am extremely jealous of this image and wish it were mine! Your Pantanal trip sure yeilded some wonderful birds and beautiful images!
Hi Judy,
Excellent capture, image and exposure. Bird is placed just right in frame. You have good details and the color rendition is in check...I like it as is...good show...:cool:
Terrific species that I observed a lot in Ecuador, some years ago while I was studying the nightjar´s behavior. Typical pose of this species on a branch high on the trees. BTW, I like the simple composition a lot Judy
Judy Lynn, fantastic shot of a very tough bird. We see them here in Costa Rica, but you'd have to be digiscoping to get an image of one. I think Linda's repost was a nice improvement of an already fine image.
