Title: Raptor Beauty in Marie Curtis
Post by: ravynne40 on August 27, 2010, 06:13:40 AM

Thursday August 26-2010 Marie Curtis Park approx 10 a.m. was heading back from a most uneventful morning besides a few hummers and goldfinches..was checking out the trees and happened upon this beauty!
This made my day :)

Thanks for the great comments, Denis I know the third one is a little lacking..it was shot against sunny sky and was dark when downloaded to the computer, I had to lighten it in photoshop..which made it a little bit grainy it was one of the better flight shots though.
the first two had just been framed and signatured no adjustments which is amazing for me..I have to get out of the habit of processing them, i tend to oversharpen some photos at times.

Great find Irene,
The second shot is superb.
Marie Curtis never fails does it?
We'll have to get together again and walk the creek and then the arsenal lands, and of course shoot some BCNH's before they take off for another year.
