Last chance to see .. a Caracara

    This is the last Caracara post (I think).
    I am really happy with this shot. It’s my favorite of the set.

    First I thought is was no good, partly because the bird was almost leaving the frame on the left.
    But I managed to save ithe shot by cropping a lot on the right.
    I wonder if it could be even better with some selective level adjustment to bring out more detail in the birdie (that’s where I would use a mask, right?)?

    This is very beautiful.
    Whatever you did to salvage it you did very well.

    The snowcapped Andes (I am assuming..maybe not :shock: )
    really provide a beautiful backdrop for such a clear photo of the bird.

    Maybe a tad brighter on the head to bring out the eye but not much more. Tha background and the tail really makes this one work for me.

    Beautiful shot Hauke. Wish I had shots this good to salvage… :wink:

    The backround really is spectacular and the bird looks really well exposed as well. You really make this look too damn easy…and having tried even getting simple in flight shots of Herons at the zoo I know it’s anything but.

    Great Job, Hauke.

    One of my favourite bird shots for a long time. The background and DOF really make this stand out from the crowd.

    Great job!

    Thanks guys, glad you like it so much .
    [ :mrgreen: Hauke is well pleased with himself]

    Seeing the response I think I’ll break my promise and post another caracara here.
    IMHO This one looks almost as good, but the composition lets it down:
