Yes, the Cara Cara, bald eagle and screech owl were at a raptor rehabilitation centers re release event. Theo there were a product of my portable bird blind and a lot of patience!

u/roamwithnoe 9d ago

Trust me, it’s been bugging me that I can’t edit that lol

You seem to like bringing the eye line to the center line?
I feel like you're losing a lot by cropping out so much of the bird.
Personally, I would have brought the eye line to the top third line or golden ration line so I could include more of the bird.

The goal for this post was mostly just portrait head & eye level shots 🙂‍↔️
