Red-tailed from this summer(8)

Hawkman

We just got a boatload of snow today. I won't be posting anything new until the eagles are abundant I expect.

So here are a few for my namesake An adult and a couple of juvenile red-tailed that posed for me in sept/aug this year. I love these red-tailed, they are magnificent and powerful BOP. You really don't get a true feel of their power and size until you are up close and personal with one.

What a fantastic series of my favorite raptor!!! Thanks for sharing these...it's great to see the feather detail up close. Such awesome coloring! Couldn't pick just one, they are all great, for variety I would choose # 1, 4 and 7 (I like the "foot-flex") :saurora

They all need contrast, but gorgeous captures!

Well, I would like to hear opinions. Do these photos lack contrast?

I have gotten a new computer and monitor, calibrated the monitor. I am always sure of the accuracy of the color, but the white and black points are always difficult to pin. Feedback would be useful.

Gene I am viewing these a 2nd time on my home monitor. The are somewhat washed out, especially the closeups.

The needed adjustment is marginal but noticeable. A blackpoint adjustment would help to get an even beter picture especially if to going to print them large.
