A Peregrine Falcon, feel free to c&c especially processing.
I've left them a touch warm to enhance the feather colours, but my monitor isn't the best, so I'd like to know if it's too much.
Cheers,
Paul...

They all look pretty good to me, as you said a bit warm but not overdone (for me at least). I had browse yesterday through your gallery you have some great shots, oh and welcome to the forum!

Great shots- nice sharp eyes,
Do you have any full body shots, I love their lighter chest transitioning from dots to striped legs, contrasts well with darker folded wings.

love the sharpness and the nice smooth uncluttered background. my only comment would be that they suffer from "dead eye". not sure what PP hear you're are using, but imo you need to bring out some colour and life in his eyes.
i was gonna do a quick edit to show you what i mean but didn;t want to do any unwelcome fiddling.

Paul,
Three stunning images of a beautiful bird. The detail on the feathers is excellent. Was this bird captive or tame?
I prefer the look of the natural eye and feel the other looks artificial.

They look great in the colour tone that they are

Are you able to give a step by step guide to what you did in CS3 speak (use real little baby steps)
thanks

You have some seriously good work on your site and I hope you are exhibiting this stuff.

sorry mate. i just popped in a control point in CaptureNX and increased the brightness. am sure you can layer mask it in CS3 and make the same adjustment with L&C but i suck at CS3 so i can't help.
