Peregrine in training (c)
Just thought I would upload one of the test shots taken this evening during a Falcons training session, this is a 16 year old retired Female Peregrine Falcon we call Kaz.

All comments welcome especially colour balance for which I seem to be having a problem with. :mad:

Thanks for looking - Vince :toast:

A magnificent looking bird. I can't help with the colour balance as the laptop I'm using probably wouldn't be good enough to give an accurate opinion.

Colour balance looks ok - just looks a touch over exposed or harshly lit. A bit softer light would give a more pleasing portrait.

Thanks for the above comments, I think I have at last sorted me monitor out, colours seem much better now.

Hi Nick :wavey:
Yes the conditions this was taken was strong sun light, should have waited a bit longer for the sun to drop or I should of underexposed slightly. Cheers :toast: :toast:
