Hi Karan,

You stumbled onto a wonderful place - your lucky day. The display must have been fantastic. A beautiful portrait of this Peregrine Falcon with outstanding details of the face and feathers. What beautiful eyes he has! Colors are magnificent - I love the yellow around the eyes and on the beak.

Hi Karan,
This portrait is absolutely awesome.
It couldn't have been any better. Love the light, focus, sharpness and amazing details.
The neutral background works great to stand out the head and focus the attention on the eye.
You get the best from the camera and lens combination in this magnificent image, maintaining naturals colours and appearance, which is very important in nature photography.
My compliments and thanks for share.
Best regards,
JM

Hi Karan

It is an awesome presentation of this Peregrine Falcon.
Sounds like you had quite a royal treat at the raptor sanctuary.

You have captured this bird with amazing details in the plumage and facial details,
stunning colour definition and a great portrait composition.
The OOF and isolated BG works perfect to compliment the subject and make it stand out in the image.
That big brown eye is absolutely superb with just the hint of sky reflected as a highlight.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Karan,
What a treat this must have been for you. I am sure that many visits to this little hidden centre will follow. Your first visit surely paid off with the stunning close capture of the fastest animal on earth.
The wonderful details in its feathers and head are something you don't see often. I love the lighting and the shine on its coat. The reflection in its eye even has a color, which shows the awesome control on the exposure. The soft colored BG helps to isolate the bird form the BG perfectly,
TFS,
Niek

This is an excellent shot of a Peregrine Falcon.
Very good detail in the feathers.
Superb plain BG that contrasts very well with the bird's plumage.
Brilliant DOF and focusing.
Very, very sharp.

Great work!
