Peregrine

Don't see these too often, and this is the first one I've ever had in the viewfinder.  Fairly large crop (there may still be a bit of noise), and the light certainly could have been better, but I am happy I at least got a few images of this bird.  D500, 150-600 @ 600, 1/1000, F8, ISO 500.  Comments welcome, particularly any suggestions on alternative crops.

Nice one, Jim.  The image quality still looks fine.  It looks like the hunt was successful judging by the bulging crop.

I have the same issue is you Jim.  They never seem to get close enough.  But at least you got the shot and you did get good detail and color. I like the wings spread.
