Kestrel With Meal

Canon 1D Mark III With EF 500mm F4 and 1.4 tc
1/2000 sec, F10, ISO 1600

This underwent some very heavy cropping. I am happy with my result!

Thanks for looking

Good to see it here. As I said in my e-mail, the only negative is the merge of the head with the far wing. Otherwise a cool pose. There is some funkiness in the BKGR in front of and just below the bird. Sky and EXP are very nice.

There's no doubt about it, those high-ISO cameras are the thing for fast action. Good shot. Any reason why you used f10?

Good image well done

Great timing on this one, loved pose achieved...

Mike, Nice capture, I agree w/ the marks in the BG and the wing and beak merge but these guys are so hard to get perched let alone flying in. Well done.:)

Nice capture. everytime I see a kestral it is flying away from me so no pictures :D

Loved the pose and light. Thx for shairng.

Superb exposure & very nice use of light!!

Fantastic light and pose...Nicely done
