I was out looking for a rumored Rough-legged recently. I did not find it but I did manage some shots of this fine looking dark Red-tail.
Cropping look about right?
Is this a composite: No
D500, Nikon 200-500 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, 1/2500th, f 8.0, 750mm, ISO 640, hand held, AI Clear, cropped to 3248 x 2607
That is tremendous! I really like the color differences in the wings due to their different positions and how the light hits them. A well-fed bird, too. Bright and in beautiful condition. Crop looks good to me, but is there a slight cyan cast happening here?
Awesome catch, Dave. Position and crop look great. Well done.
Wow – that’s gorgeous! Wonderful pose with great detail on the bird against a subdued BG.
