[Daniel Cadieux]

Knowing your subject goes a long way in bird photography - you knew what to do and it paid off. I would only eliminate the small black spot on the perch at very bottom of the frame. Very pleasing image :-)

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Kiran, excellent image. No suggestions from my end. I liked the soft light in this. Thats a Kestrel, right?

Kiran,

I agree with Daniel about the small black spot. For the rest it is simply fantastic. Sweet light that brought all detail out of the plumage. Well exposed, good pose and clean pleasing BG. Different perch than usual and nice composition round it up. Very well done.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement, I really value them.

Thanks DC and LV for the suggestion. Will take care of that.

Sorry KD forgot to mention the species, Its a kestral for sure. have justed added.

Thanks again.

Kiran.

Excellent image - great feather detail, background and perch. You have been well rewarded for your efforts.

[Doug Brown]

Nice planning, and quite a payoff for your work. Great pose, perch, details, and BG. Agree about removing the dark spot at the bottom of the perch.

Fantastic image. The black dot has been mentioned but removing it is not critical IMO. Congrats. JR
