First Time Post

[dawalker]

Hey guys this is my first time posting. Was out on the back deck and was practicing with my new gimbal and saw this guy in my neighbors yard. Wow it was a lucky shot . I was using my d750 with a 200-500 f/5.6. Any and all comments is welcome. Thanks

Nice shot. This looks like a red-tail hawk. Exposure and focus is spot on.
All exif data has been stripped off the picture. I would like to know camera and lens settings used if you can provide those (F-stop, shutter speed, focal distance, ISO, etc..

Nice shot...I like the lef or whatever in the blurred background...almost looks like it’s got a hat on.

Nice juvenile red-shouldered hawk!

Yeah I noticed that. When I get time and learn how to fix that in LR I'll make that go away.

Sorry it took so long to respond. The info you requested is f5.6, 1/160, ISO 100, at 500mm. It was a cloudy day. Hope this helps. Thanks

Once you get tha mask and feathering done the cloning part is pretty easy...especially with the cluttered but bokeh’ed background

That moves this into the excellent image category...looks like you did a little more PP as well...the bird seems to pop a little more.

Thanks, I'll have to admit, I went the extra mile.
