    This past weekend I spent many long hours up on a sketchy cliff face trying for this one. And I do not like heights :?

    Excellent BIF, love it. I would also add a bit more on top. Great banking pose.

    Glenn:

    I would consider this a perfect dorsal pose to show off your bird to its full advantage. Nice 3D effect with good separation from the BG.

    Sharp, well exposed.

    Although the bird is angling downward, I do agree about a sliver more room at the top.

    Well done

    Cheers

    Great dorsal view Glenn, and I like the full wingspan and fanned tail. Glad you got your shot.

    You nailed it. This image is truly worth dealing with acrophobia.

    One of the best Peregrine image I've ever seen, love the details, the sharpness, the background, and the flight pose with perfect wing and tail span. Simply an amazing picture, well worth the effort.

    For someone who doesn't like heights, this capture is very sharp. I, too, am anxious about heights and no amount of IS or SS would be able to hide my camera shake. :) The image is superb with great IQ, detail, and BG. If you don't mind, I"ll just look at your image for while so as to muster my nerve to try to get my own. Thanks for sharing.

    Great sharp detail and IQ. Like the pose and soft light. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours against a killer bg. Well done !
