    Default Red-necked Falcon

    Was lucky witness this falcon trying to hunt a Roller of almost it's size. The chase was quite thrilling and it was Roller's day. It escaped from becoming breakfast.

    Canon 7D, Canon 500mm f4=1.4x TC, ISO 320, f5.6, 1/500 Sec, +1/3 EV

    One Roller may have escaped being breakfast, but looks like this guy had supper the previous evening though!! I like the image, good techs, perch, and background (which looks very smooth..did you do anything to it?)

    This is just a gorgeous image of a bird I have never seen. The light must have been perfect when you made this shot as the colors are wonderful. If I had a choice I'd prefer it without the poop squirt but that's the way they come sometime. Ha!

    The chase before or after the photograph presented? If no more room at right, had you considered taking some off the top? Sweet shot.

    Great technicals. But, it's time for the clone tool.

    Daniel, haven't done anything special to BG but ran NR (neat image) once.

    Danny & Steven, I made some shots without Poop but posted this one for August Theme :-)

    LOL! I was unaware of the theme. I guess this counts.
