Caracara Portrait
I have been shooting Caracaras lately, hopefully you guys are not tired looking at them :D Could have stop down the f stop and lower the SS, not much time to think as I was laying flat on the road to get this shot, had to be quick.
Will change subject soon as Bald Eagles are back.

No need to stop down for me. Love the BKGR and SH where it needs to be. HA perfect. Could stand some bill clean-up.

Troy, Nice portrait, I like the perspective. Beautiful BG -I guess that was what you had in mind;).
Denise, I have been following the family for the last few months. This was a rare occasion where I could get close and at the angle I want. The area they usually show up always get some side lighting, not ideal. It was a lucky day for me.
Troy, I have enjoyed your series. I also went on your facebook page and saw your killer Barred Owl w/ fully open wings. Did you post that one-did I miss it?
Great detail and exposure... The different pastel colors add to the overall image... I just wish he cleaned his face for the close up (Just kidding), Nice one Troy
Just too good!
Great detailed close-up Troy!
Denise,
I probably have posted on here before...not sure when :)
Have to visit the pair again, should be back to the old spot...:)
Thank you all for the nice comments.
This is superb Troy. No issue with the DOF IMO. Majestic pose too. Well done.
Astonishing details captured. Love the eye exposure and HA. The bird pops from the bg. Well done.
beautiful bird with complimentary background
