Well composed image of my nemesis. Love the perch, soft light and head turn.

I also like the lighting on this image. The perch is superb and fits in well with the oof background. Nice pose. I've had a few of these in my neighborhood during the summer but I think they got lost on their way around Mount Rainier. I'm curious why you are using your D800 instead of your D850 unless this is an old image? That also applies to your previous post. I did see the Kestral image posted in the other gallery that you did take with the D850.

David, I'm keeping one of the D800's as a backup, so there occasionally may be an image posted with that in the future.
I strongly avoid changing lenses in the field so take 2 cameras.
However, this IS an older image.

One of my many favorite birds Sandy. This is really well presented. Nice soft colors thorughout, great detail in feathers, really nice perch and really nice pose. Well done. I know some might consider removing the bough in the BG, but I think it helps provide a framing element here.
