Got to love that fanned tail and attentive eyes. Very good EXP and feather detail. I see a lot of color noise in the blue, not sure why since you used ISO 200. Maybe compression?

Great to see you around :)

Great capture! Love the light and the fanned tail. By the way this is a kestrel... looks like a Lesser Kestrel (can just make out the white talons).

Best regards.

Great sharpness and exposure. The fanned tail and the dangling talons look awesome. Aside from the noise issue that Fabs mentioned, I wish the far wing was in better position. A little separation from the head would have been nice.

The tail makes this for me. Great exposure over the whole subject also.

Typical hovering posture, and well done on the exposure from the underwing. Good detail throughout too.
