I've been looking very hard for something that's not perfect...to no avail. There could be a funny little u shaped thing on the OOF rock? Just beautiful Satish!

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you Glennie for your feed back and kind comments.
You are right, I forgot to mention that I have cloned two white spots one at the u shape, second one just below the leg and also removed dark area at LLC.

Stunning, Satish. You must be proud of this one. Beautiful pose, bg, perch, light, detail. I'm hard pressed to find anything to suggest. Maybe brighten the iris just a tad?

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Breathtakingly beautiful, Satish. I think this is an outstanding image in every aspect. The light quality is super, enhancing the feather markings of this particular bird. Simply great.

Satish, such beautiful colors of a beautiful bird. Perfectly exposed and good composition. Your kestrel looks leaner than ours here in the US. Loi
