It was 20 below this past weekend, so I spent the time indoors working on some files from this past summer :-)

What a great shot, Steve! Such a lifelike image. I love the hawk's pose with it's mouth open. Very appealing capture.

Matt it, frame it, and hang it on the wall, Ed! It's such a stunning capture.

Both of these are wonderful captures, Pajak! Truly amazing! The hen pheasant must be a bit flustered by all the yellowhammers flying just over the top of her.

Awesome capture of that fast moving Barn Swallow. Happy trails.

Many thanks, Paul. They are indeed fast moving. My acceptable number of keepers is embarrassingly low. :oops:

I truly thank you for the kudos, Lester! Your kind, thoughtful words are greatly appreciated.

Re-edited this old photo from a few years ago with Topaz DeNoise to see if I could clean it up some more.

Photographed at Fernhill Wetlands, Oregon in February 2017. The conditions were bad, and the image was very noisy, so I tried to clean it up the best I could.

Canon 7D Mark II, 500/4 II + 1.4X.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Beautiful shot. However, it looks like an immature Red-Shouldered Hawk. A Red-Tailed would have a well defined belly band and dark patagials (leading edge of underwing).


If YOU like the photo, that's all that matters!

Very nice - looks like it is going to be a hard landing, or is the stump just in the line of sight?
