Made this image of the female kestrel in a slightly overcast condition. I dont know if I need to give more space on the right.

Spec: 1/1000, F8, -1/3, ISO 400.

Canon 40D+500mm+1.4TC

Great angle, sharpness, eye contact and BG, interesting perch, too. What is the perch? I guess you could give it a bit more room but I like it as is.

Thanks Axel, I guess I will leave it as it is then. the perch is the tip of a termite mound.

Nice pose, sharpness and lighting. I like the complementary earthy tones of the bird, perch and background and the alignment of the tail with the edge of the mound.
A great image.

Awesome perch, great pose with a perfect head turn, and nice even light. I wouldn't add any canvas on the right.

Very nice image here Kiran, good colour, sharp, reflection in the eye and a super perch, nothing to fault at all.

Kiran...no space needed whatsover. Its perfect as is. Love the tail being parallel to the mound edge. You made the best of the overcast conditions. Exposure is spot on.

That perch is just excellent, very complimentary to the bird. The pose, HT and BG are excellent as well! Congrats on a fine image
