An unusual over the shoulder look. I like it.

Nice being able to get this close to a wild peregrine. Nice pose.

Nice and sharp with good detail Sandy. I'm always impressed when one gets this close to a wild Peregrine. IMO, the bird needs more room on the sides.

Cool pose, Sandy, and congratulations on getting this close to a notoriously spooky species. Razor sharp, too. It's a bit tight for my taste, but that's very subjective.
