The BG on this one is on fire! Love the details and pose Rober!

Arthur Morris · Dec 31, 2007

Love the pose. Looks a bit too saturated for my tastes.

Later and love, artie

Beautiful little falcon! Really love that pose too.

Robert Amoruso · Dec 31, 2007

Artie,

I knew you would say that. I actually back down the saturation on this.

Next time around I will do some noise correction on the BG.

Excellent pose Robert !!!! It really pops out of the screen Might back down saturation but do like it as presented !!!

Awesome pose and wonderful timing in this image Robert and an excellent BG too.

Great pose and timing on the shutter.. A bit warm.. But I like it and would love to see these birds.

George DeCamp · Dec 31, 2007

A really cool looking bird and well captured Robert. Nits aside, love the BG and the pose!

Plumsy looks great in that pose.

Actually, he cannot be counted in your birding list since he was hand-raised so it belongs in the Captive Forum. This time we'll let it go, but the next ones, and I hope to see more

should go there.

Actually, that background looks a lot like mine posted in HoM, maybe just a bit saturated.

Axel Hildebrandt · Dec 31, 2007

I like it as is, particularly pose and BG. I've never seen this species and don't know whether it is oversaturated.

Hi Robert, Great pose and bg, Great bird too. The bird may have been captive, but it's wild and free at the time this image was made.

Beautiful pose with the upraised wings, Robert! Lovely BG colour, maybe run the BG selectively through noise reduction?
