Man, the black really sets off this beauty. Awesome color and details (even more than usual which is saying something). TFS

ps
That face...

Like it? I love it. What else is there to say?

Hey Arash, just about perfect. My first impression was that the bird was a tad dark but as I continue to look that seems to go away. A classic, thank you for sharing.

Stunning image Arash! Whats not to like. almost perfect!! Super dark BG, lovely wing pose and clarity.

Cruise control, lane departure?... superb!

I love dark BG's, very nice. IQ on bird not quite the other images which are hard to top but BG is superb in this.

IQ is the same, the strong light made it a bit contrasty, this image is probably the sharpest kestrel file I have gotten, it was so sharp I did not apply any sharpening to it, hard to believe :bugeyed:

Looks like you really have this lady figured out! Hopefully she'll stick through the winter. Only thing I could ask for her is a tiny bit more head turn. Otherwise perfect.
