Kestrel

American kestrel (female) from last year, what started as a sunny evening turned into a rain storm pretty quickly. Managed a few frames before it got dark, hope you like this one

Love the bird, can't fault the angle, details or pose, but not my favourite BG - not that you can tell her where to fly of course! Maybe toning down the brightest blues may help

Great downwing pose, lovely techs as usual. Background works for me.

Arash something looks slightly amiss to me, the image certainly looks better in PSCC than on the web. I get the feeling it is a little oversharpened, the creamy/white plumage appears crunchy.

thanks everyone, sharpening looks descent from here at least...
