It's getting hot on the prairie cliffs. This male was across the canyon taken with stacked converters.

Masterful job of obtaining this difficult capture, Rob. The setting is so much different than most of the posts in this forum. Exceptional effort well-rewarded.

Well done. I would be tempted to crop in a little tighter but it's nice as is.

The BG shows how dry and inhospitable is his home territory. Excellent capture.

Enjoy viewing

Killer image of the subject, would love to see it against nice green OOf background or blue sky. However, we don't have that call.

Great sharpness for stacked tc's, like the way the wings are held slightly open.

We should be calling you "Raptor Rob". Great job with this one....and extra impressive with the use of stacked converters.
