RICHARD:

Good that he is letting you get in closer. Nice wing spread, I like the comp.

I am seeing a fine sharpening halo along the leading edge of the lower wing.

Cheers

Randy

[Richard Unsworth]

Thanks Randy

Yes and more to come

I see the halo now , smart sharpen was used but not aggressively
might mask that off and not apply any there

thanks for your comment

Great that you were able to get a closer shot of this kestrel Richard. Good flight pose and the warm colours of the bird complemented nicely againt the blue sky.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
I really like the spread out wings and the fanned tail.
Well done.

[Peter Dexter]

Nice! I especially like the clarity of the upper wing.
