This was taken on my Southern California trip at the end of March. I wish I had a little more of the facial view on this image and I wish it was a little sharper. Unfortunately, the Peregrine only appeared for short period of time and it was in heavy shade. Despite that I suppose I’m okay with getting a full frame shot.
Specific Feedback Requested
There are definitely some image quality issues with the 2X extender as opposed to the 1.4 X.
Technical Details
Is this a composite: No
ISO 3200, 400+2x, F5 .6, 2000th, nearly full frame, handheld
Those look more natural to me…I was going to ask if there was a blue morph of this bird. It wouldn’t be unheard of. Great wing poses and light on these. Obviously a favorite perching spot.
Great details on the bird and really interesting with that perch covered with feathers. I think I prefer the second image as it is more of a straight on view of the bird. Both nice captures though. Well done.
