Peregrine Falcon

[Joe Senzatimore]

At West End this AM. Probably not an ideal pose and I know the perch was not the best but this bird was very co-operative as it allowed some close approaches. Was perhaps 50 ft or so and didn't want to try to get closer allthough I felt I could. Not an outstanding image but it does give a good look at it's weapons.

Hi Joe,

What a good looking profile you have here. Looks like the head is a little soft as the body looks sharper. I try to focus in the head and re-compose for every still image.

Keep them coming!

Thanks Maxis and sorry for the post in the wrong forum. Just wasn't thinking.

You've got a good looking falcon.....always love the fluffy look. He looks a tad bright...perhaps tone the chest down some and bring out some of the darker color in the back wings as well.
