[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The fastest creature on earth is thought to be the peregrine falcon that can reach speeds of over 150 mph in a dive.
I have had a problem with these birds in the neighborhood the past few years. Looks as if we have a large family of these birds raising their young right here in my back yard. I saw these two playing in the back yard through the kitchen window one afternoon and was lucky to get one nice shot of them… The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 is not a good camera for action shots. But I think it did a pretty good job here…
Did a little Post processed with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 to sharpen, enhance the brightness and contrast. Cropped, resized and added border for TrekLens. Your comments and critiques are as always welcome.

Lost the EXIF info, so added what info I had on the original shot here.

hi Den this is a very hard bird to capture with a camera and you have done it realy well with this shot to get 2 at once realy good work tfs
regards bryan

hi denny.
nice try with the lz5.

i don't think these birds are peregrines. i have some near my house and they look nothing like this.

Hi Den,

No matter what these birds are they certainly look ferocious and the one on the left seems to be the boss. Great capture good colours the focus seems to bee on the bird on the right though tfs.

Regards
Jon
