    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.

    1DX
    500f4 II + 1.4X III
    1/2000
    f5.6
    ISO-400
    Handheld
    Cropped to about 4M pixels

    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.
