A series taken in late afternoon when a juvenile and one of its parents was hunting in a nearby park. My favorite is probably the first one, in flight.
I think the juveniles are prettier than the adults, really.
The lighting on a couple of shots is a bit deceiving; it looks like the picture was taken at night, but it was afternoon. I was underexposing to keep from blowing the highlights, and decided I liked the look.
Usual LR processing, all these shots used the enhanced denoise. For the in-flight shot I extended the background a bit with PS on the left and re-cropped; I didn't frame the bird that well. But I was shooting the 500 pf + 1.4 and AF was a bit slow.
