Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)

I took this image of Manchester's Peregrine in 2012 and saved it for the magazine 'British Birds' 'Bird Photograph of the year competition 2013'. The image is full frame and is one of my favourite urban Peregrine images. It bombed in the competition....ah well another day perhaps.

This is the female.

Cracking shot Adrian, we all know judges know nothing about what makes a good image.

You should stop wasting your talent on competitions,Adrian!! Opinions,opinions and more opinions,it's a great picture with an interesting setting and that's good enough for me. Most pictures are already taken and the unique ones are often captured in arranged settings and have very little to do with natural photography. You should be well pleased with this one my friend. :t:
