Nice shot menace I love the eye detail.
Good to see you onto a 5d3 jrista, having made the same jump a few months it's a great step up. I am fortunate I don't really notice the change in focal length as I shoot more environmental portraits. Love the egrets
On the topic of processing, my tip is if you can use a calibrated monitor it makes it a lot easier, and I agree the exposure looks good just needs a touch up in post.

That's a big bird! Interesting pose, too...you can kind of see the birds inexperience.

It was amazing watching them interact with the adults. It takes 3 years before they become the iconic white-headed adult, but much less time than that to give the adults big attitude. There is a teenage metaphor in there somewhere!

Juvenile Northern Rough-winged Swallow, catching its breath. I was pretty astonished by this bird, I was standing at an overlook above a small lake when the bird landed just a few feet away from me on the fence railing. It was plainly very out of breath and it sat there for a couple of minutes while it got its breathing under control. My guess is that it is newly fledged and that it is just learning the ropes of being a swallow.

These birds are rescues
The eagle was found shot and is now blind in one eye
Not sure of the owl's story
The handler was just wrapping up some sort of presentation in one of the wings of the Banff Springs Hotel and let me take a few hurried photos
For some reason when I look at these photos they seem sad

Hi nineyards.
Nice shots, always sad to find these birds in captivity, but for the eagle to have survived being shot is quite remarkable. I guess they may seem sad by association with the story?
Cheers Graham.

Thanks for the compliment Valvebounce.
You are right of course, knowing their situation and how they came to be there has me painting them as sad.
Beautiful creatures in any environment though.

Very nice images Nineyards. They do evoke emotion, I might add. They're really nice, I like the tones and the color. Thanks for sharing.
