Another one from the 28th at Leonabelle Turnbull. I was lucky enough to have this one do a flyby within range. There were quite a few around, but they were usually some distance away.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 C @ 500 mm, hand held, f/8, 1/5000, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering -1/3EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 18.7 MP before resizing. Taken at 9:17 AM on March 28th.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Really nice detail in the feathers, and a nice wing position. That red eye is always a treat with these guys.

I like this image and the fact that you were able to get good eye contact. Nice detail and nice lighting. It always seems like they're never close enough or too close.

Really nice clean, simple flight shot Dennis. Your detail and subtle colors are very nice.
