Peregrine strikes THE POSE!
I spent over a week photographing Peregrine Falcons earlier this summer. Getting one with this pose against a mountain BG in good light happened all of one time during that entire week plus. I was happy to lock focus for this image!
Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm, f/7.1, 1/1600, ISO 800, manual exposure, hand held
Upcoming Workshops: Bosque del Apache 2019, Ecuador 2020 (details coming soon)

Very cool! I like the banking pose, fanned tail, sharpness, open beak, light and BG.
Doug:
Great dorsal view, sharp throughout,good HA and crying pose!
Nicely exposed too.
Purely as a matter of personal taste, I might darken the background a bit.
Thanks for sharing.

Truly amazing! Love everything about this one! The pose is perfect and the fanned tail killer, the BG is fine by me and the open beak is the icing on the cake! Well done man!
