This image was taken in early March about 1 hour after sunrise. I love the beautiful top wing of a kestrel and the BG has nice dreamy color.

The kestrels have left my area, this was the last day I saw her.
Appreciate your comments.

Very nice image.
I like the way the vegetation is sitting in the RLC anchoring the image.
Details look good for the large crop.
Terrific BG as well.
I find the discolored white leaf a bit distracting and would either burn the area or clone back in some green.
Well done,
Gail

Lovely! This would also work well as a vertical or a squarish crop.

I really like this one Loi. Looks sharp and exposed well. I too like the detail and color in the shoulder and the BG is nice too. Agree with Gail about removing the white leaf. Well done.

Terrific shot.
I really like the two toned background, very nice light, great pose and perch.
Well done.
