Weather still not good over here, so I have been going through old images again. This is one from a couple of years ago. I wouldn't have used these camera settings, if I was getting the same chance again. But I never knew what I know now :S3:

I like the setting, behaviour and high key effect. Is this a big crop because details seem to be lacking. Composition wise I would take a little of our left and add the same amount on the other side but that is personal taste. The left wing looks a little too blue on the underside. Congratulations on capturing this action.
Beautiful! Kestrels are my nemesis (well, one of them). Gorgeous wing position! The blue underwing is a very pretty complement to the lovely browns, but maybe a bit unrealistic. I would think about cropping from the bottom to minimize the heavy rock and lightening it some.
Nice behavior shot, love the stretched wings. You can get rid if the blue/cyan cast and replace the color using the color of the left wing if you wish, Will.
Here is an attempt of color replacement.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Hi Karl, thanks for taking the time, to adjust the colour cast on the wing. But, I now don't know which version I like best. I will work on the original again, which was under exposed.

Hi Will, and that is how to base viewing this I feel. Yes there are things you could have improved, but you have the 'nuts & bolts' within the original capture which is good and now it's just down to 'honing' things both in terms of how you shoot and also PP skill set. With you new found 'learning curve' also start to think when shooting, how you may process it too, as often you can shoot in a certain way to help reduce problematic situations and then within PP it's a breeze and can save time and IQ, it's not just about clicking away these days.Quote:

Agree on loosing more off the foot, but retain the width, you don't want to hammer much more.
