Star Trails West Edit

Comment by louinsd:
I'm giving you a ten just because I love star trails and this must have taken a couple of hours of waiting.

Some constructive criticism though. When you do star trails, the foreground is more important than the star trails themselves. While the trails are a very cool phenomenon, essentially they are just streaks of light. This capture would have been more interesting if we could see what is going on in the rocks.

I must take issue with your title.
This isn't a falcon. It's a buzzard (Europe) or hawk (US).
That aside, it's an excellent capture and a neat crop.

The subject seems really washed out. I wish the colors were more vibrant. Going bw might just bypass that issue and look great. Awesome shot and framing.

First off, a nice capture, especially with getting some clouds in there to break up the background.

However, it may just be me, but I'm seeing what looks like a high amount of chromatic aberration on the bottom of the head and the right side of the wings.

I don't often get to see this bird so close. Very nice.

The lighting of this is a little harsh, and the very centred composition doesn't really work for me. Depth of field applied to this image to remove background distractions is very good.

The centered composition doesn't do it for me. The blown out highlights on the bottom petal are distracting. I love the bokeh though.
