This is a Lesser Kestrel Juvenile male. This is my first of the species as they are quite rare here in India.
Spec: 1/5000, F 5.6, ISO 800.
Mk4+500mm+1.4TC

Nice sharp detail. Pose looks a little akward. I would darken the midtones a bit too.

Love thew way this guy is grasping the prey! Neat pose even if it does look like it is losing balance, and I agree darkening the midtones would be beneficial, as well as darkening the pupil (which seems to have a slight haze over it).
Congrats on the rare sighting!!

That is a killer shot. I too feel the need for a little depth on the bird.

Thnk you dear friend for your kind words and suggestion. Sure will rework to mid tones.
@ Arash, yes brother. He landed and while trying to qrip the grass hopper lost balance.
Thanks again,

Kiran.
