Kestrel with meal

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Another from yesterday morning's session with Henry. I guess that's what I just called him. :)

He is about to bite into a mole cricket he had caught.

Love the detail of the thin streaks here Akos, and the related overall sharpness of the image. Perch "fits" the bird nicely. Although the bird is looking down, I wonder if more space at the top and less below would work better?

Akos, You are getting some great stuff on this bird. The perch, soft blue sky and snack add nicely to this image.

Another good one! You kept control of the details in what seems to be strong light. A behavior shot is always useful too. But I thought that with yesterday's shot (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?74800-Australian-Kestrel-(male)) you'd solved the problem of the angle. What happened to that ladder you'd said you were going to use :cool:?

Henry? Out of all the names, you called him Henry. :) Good behavioural shot, and like how you have captured this the moment before he takes his first bite. Good to see the colour on the neck and wing. Im sure you have a good thing going here mate. Well done.

I am enjoying this series Akos. Looking forward to seeing more.
