Excellent detail and exposure on the shots. I'm not sure about the comp in the second shot though. If you're going to do a partial shot of the falcon I think it would have more impact coming out of a corner of the frame.

Thanks Harry for your insight. Still pretty new to the whole nature photography thing so these are good pointers. So you would say that it would be stronger if the main body had come out of the bottom right of the frame instead of the middle like she is now.

love the pics.:clap but I don't think I like the crops. However I'm one of those wierdos that don't mind things in the center.:D

As in more in the frame or just more pics. I actually have more of the peregrine, just need to do some more processing :wink

Very nice captures Michael, good work.

I agree about the composition in the 2nd pic.

Thanks for sharing.
