Hi folks .. back to the southern hemisphere
Image of the Caracara captured on a misty day on Steeple Jason Island , the island is part of the Falklands .
Unbelievable lichen covered landscape on that island ... very dangerous to go overboard with the colors , so I tried to keep them kind of dull !!!

Wonderful image Andreas,I think you got the lichens perfectly and I could see where it would be easy to over saturate them.The Caracara is nice and sharp.Fantastic TFS
A very well placed subject with loads of details and great eye contact. The muted and mottled colors behind are a great backdrop and the lichen up front adds too.
Love a rich, dark bird on colors. Very well processed sir, a gem!
Lovely setting indeed, and at 85mm that was a very accommodating subject! I think you managed the colours well. Liking the wet look! I'd be tempted to remove the short strand touching the far talon.
