Hi Rick,
Absolutely beautiful falcon shot, crystal clear sharpness and great details on the bird. Background's nicely blurred, not busy at all, although its colorization's quite similar to that of the falcon, and a bit pale to my taste - a very little dose of contrast should do, by my opinion. Otherwise, as mentioned, a fantastic capture, and of course a nice dedication to Michel.
Tfs, have a nice Sunday, László

Hi Rick,
This is great. I really like birds of prey and this one has been photographed very well. The details are excellent and so are some of the colours. I like the pose showing off his wing plumage and it has been well composed. Good out of focus background as well.
Great capture and TFS

Hello Rick,
I must say I prefer to see birds, especially raptors in their entireity in an image and this capture of a Prairie Falcon is what I like to see. The technical qualities are excellent and the lighting superb with a nice neutral BG helping to show it up.
Thanks for sharing this beauty and have a good Sunday.

Hi Rick
I think you work magic with your zoom lens. The DOF always seems to work out perfectly. Your close view of Prairie Falcon brings out his plumage so nicely. I also like the way he has his head facing toward you enough to see his impressive beak. Great notes!

Hi Rick,
A fantastic capture of this Prairie Falcon. The pose is wonderful. The colors and details of his face and feathers are beautiful and excellent. He has a very attractive face with a wonderful eye. Needless to say I have never seen him in real life but would love to. The background and composition are marvelous. A fine dedication to our friend Michel.

Rick:
This is a lovely image, but it's a Prairie or Richardson's Merlin Falco columbarius richardsonii, rather than F. mexicanus. It can be identified by its delicate build (particularly the very slender toes and small bill), plumage and tail-primaries ratio. In all plumages the prairie falcon has more bars on the tail (but less distinct than the merlin) and a bolder malar stripe below the eye. Lighting, composition and background are all beautiful.
Regards, Nigel.
