Nice soft feel to this portrait.

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely colors and setting. Bird is nice and sharp and I love the stare you are getting.
What are your settings? (ISO, ap, Shutter speed?)

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Very nice portrait. I'm debating whether or not brightening up the areas around the eyes would be beneficial or not. Really like the look of this one!

[Karen Forderer]

Beautiful! The bird is so nice and sharp. I love the colours and softness of the background/foreground.

[Alan Murphy]

Love the low angle and face on pose.

Girish, awesome shot. We dont usually see shots of Kestrels on the ground. very different. well done on going super low. Rule-of-thirds comp. works perfectly here.

So many things to like. loved it.

Never come across one of these on the ground like this....the setting is very beautiful, dreamy look to it all, I guess the eyes could be brighter, and maybe a little more contrast may be good, but it depends on the effect you may want....myself I like it is as it is with the softness...one of the loveliest images of this bird I have seen in a while, very beautiful Girish !

[dankearl]

Wow, that is a great angle, very nice close up and very nice details.
The pastel colors and comp are just over the top.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Fantastic shot Girish!

[Gary Kinard]

I love those low shots. Very nice foreground.

[Shawn Zierman]

This is a sweet sweet low angle image of this species.
Love the fg to bg blur effect. Dreamy image indeed!
