Still at UQROP,here's a peregrine falcon on the hand of his trainer. UQROP recuperates injured prey birds and prepares them to go back in wildlife. some of them that are not able to do so, are called ambassadors and make the show.
Peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth. He has been caught at 340 km/h diving on a prey! He can see a turtledove at 1 km!

Hi Gilles

This is a nice shot, but in my opinion could be improved by doing the following:

Ensure you have the entire bird in the frame including tallons, claws etc.

Try not to crop to close. Give the subject some room

Make sure the subject is off centred. TFS.

hi gilles, excelent shot, good POV, nice coloures and ver good portret.

Bonjour Gilles,

Salut Gilles,
Je suis d'accord avec les conseils de coasties mais je dois dire que les détails sont merveilleux! Bravo pour ce beau portrait, j'espère un jour pouvoir les phtographier dans leur habitat :-) Bien fait Gilles!
