800iso, Impressive, Very litte noise on the shot and good focus on the head. The catchlight in the eye is nice and bright too.
Really nice shot.

Hi Peter,

Congrats on the new beasts at hand.
Excellent shot and well done on the composition. ISO 800 looks good, though, you would have done very well with ISO 400 at F/8.0
You are ready for some action now, sports?

Hi Peter,
Very sharp and clear, but why the f11@ 1/500? its been an iso 320 day at the rugby!!, there does not appear to be a great depth of field for f11?
But very well lit, and handles the bright highlights well,

It has a very distinct look. Apparently, he is very proud of his statue. :) Perfect sharpness, colors and composition. TFS

Wow, you should be pleased with the sharpness. Superb photo. I wonder how far from the bird you were. In other words, did you have that lens at full zoom? Like the background also which actually gives the impression of earth and sky - and the bird's eye just at horizon level.

Hi Peter,
Exceptional photo of the Falcon with razor sharp details! The lighting is great and the blured background brings out the subject better.

Well composed :)

You certainly should be pleased with the sharpness as this is a very sharp and such a great bird picture, Peter. Quite different from what you have shown us before but it is great to be able to take different styles of pictures. Great DOF & great colours & details on the bird. Excellent!

Sorry, my bag is empty!!!

Beautiful shot, Peter! For that kind of shot, the background is as much important as the subject, and you did very well here. Fun to be able to use the equipment to its limits! Congrats!

Hi Peter, I always wonder too, birds should be free, I think. Then again there are breeding programs in those places which helps birds almost extinct.

Great sharp perfect shot.

Fantastic capture of a majestic bird, great detail of the feathers, beek and eyes. The exposure is perfect and the DOF, as well.
