Thanks to David Salem and Glenn Conlant who invited me to tag along on yesterday morning, I was able to see and capture my first images of a beautiful Merlin. I'm not going to risk being judged by the standards that apply to the same bird that Arash, David, and Glenn posted, so I will go for a perched shot in a multi color BG. This is a FF. I debated about cropping or not cropping and decided to leave it as full frame. I enjoy seeing the multi-color near the top. The light was slightly off angle, but I decided to scarify the light angle for the BG.
