Sparrowhawk

Adobe Photoshop 24.1 (Macintosh)

Canon R6
f/4 400mm DO Mk2
f/7.1
1/1250
ISO 4000

When the Sparrowhawk came into the set up this time, she immediately perched. She didn't seem interested in going after any birds, even though she scattered around 30......I was hoping for a take off or maybe even a catch....I had my exposure ready for it, but not to be this time. a short preen, then a couple of secs later she was off........Gimbal Head.....ACR, Topaz DN and PS...

Clean image, nice tonal detail, I am a little curious - what is the background? There appears to be a difference in it's appearance at the bottom left of the post.

This just Pops off the screen.. Very nicely done.

Razor sharp, nice head angle, excellent detail for high ISO ( not quite Andreas high ISO though! )

Really great portrait Will! Super sharp, great head turn and terrific processing. Great job!

I prefer the looser crop here than your previous image of this species. Again with the nice eye here, and the head angle is perfect. I wish for a better perch (less of a man-made clean cut), but looks good nonetheless. Dark gray BG works well too.
