Peregrine Falcon

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

The subject is well placed in the frame and is well isolated from the background with the shallow DOF.

[Graham00]

Fantastic shot, you could have got away with a much lower ISO though.

 

[c75mitch]

Really great shot!

 

[lfc1892]

Great shot. My only point would be that with 1/5000 shutter speed, you probably could have dropped the iso to get a really clean lack of noise.

 

[Cobra]

'Twas well worth the wait and danger to life and limb. Very nice indeed
( I sympathise on the height thing )

 

[Odille]
