Merlin
(Falco columbarius)

7D, 500 F4 L IS
Full frame


Would have preferred a more natural perch but Merlins prefer the wide fence posts for tearing their prey apart. Handheld from truck.

Wonderful image. Love the light, pose and background. Agree a more natural perch would have been desirable, but still a killer image.

I missed the full frame part. But then again, you can ads canvas around it if you like. It is a personal thing. Some people don't like it.

troylim I can add canvas in my sleep but that's not the point. Perhaps take 1 minute to read the authors comments.
