Juvenile Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

[jmbrailsford]

ISO 200 - 1/80th @ F4.5

Canon 1D Mark II with Sigma 500mm F4.5 EX

Slight Crop and minor processing in Lightroom 2.0, WB adjusted and then NR on it to clean up background noise.

Taken leaning on the bonnet of the car at about 30ft away.

Thanks for looking,

Mike.

The background is a little bit distracting and the head turn could be slightly better but I like the sharpness and light a lot. Keep them coming

I think Juan nailed this one. Great sharpness. Nice light. Distracting BG. A little more eye contact would help. Thanks for posting!
