    Default From exes to eyes

    Common Buzzard Buteo buteo in late afternoon, before sunset.

    Canon 7D, Canon 500 mm + 1.4TC, ISO 400, f7.1, 1/1000. No crop.

    Great light and color and I really like the eye contact. You could probably take some off the top of the image.

    Nice golden tones throughout, and I like the straight-on stare. I'd explore lightening the bird's left eye and socket (our right). The extra room above is good for adding a caption or magazine title, but on its own it looks a bit much. Well done overall!

    Nice capture, in Europe the raptors are usually tough to get near, the stare, sharpness and background are nice. Agree bird is a little to low in the frame...TFS

    Lovely bird and light. I see that you were trying to minimize the tiny roots, rocks, and twigs in the bottom third of the frame.... If it were mine, I would clean that stuff up.

    Thank you all for responce. I left here more space on the top with purpose. Have some (landscape) photos with much less space.
    Mr.Morris, no, I use it as it was, since the buzzard was on the fresh ploughing field where catch earthworms and I like the the place is visible.
