Screamin' Peregrine Part II

[Doug Brown]

Here's an image from my Saturday morning session with Jim Salywoda. The two juveniles put on an amazing show for us that morning; fortunately a lot of the good action happened in nice light!



Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm, f/7.1, 1/1600, ISO 800, manual exposure, hand held

Pretty cool pose! I like the talon peeking behind the wing. Were you tempted to tone down the bit of blues in the feathers?

[David Roach]

Sweet!!! Normally I'd mention the head merging with the wing as a nagative, but not in this baby!! It's right in the best spot with a BG to add contrast to that wonderful open beak. The pose and details are killer!!!

[Stu Bowie]

I think the head merging with the wing works to your advantage here Doug, as it shows up very well against the shadow of the outer wing. Great diving posture, and looks like the little guy was enjoying himself with the open beak. Sharp, and I can see this as a vertical, by bringing in the RHS. Just a thought. BTW, well captured.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose, I like that he is angled downwards and the calling pose. The sharpening brought out some noise in the shadows and I agree with Daniel regarding the blues.

[James Salywoda]

Doug we sure had fun that morning.It looks sweet as it did when I saw it. I went yesterday and was skunked
no real good oppt. we missed your good luck.:)

[Chris Kotze]
