Kestrel take off

[arash_hazeghi]

Got this frame of the lady kestrel with Dave Salem last year. She was very cooperative




Shot with the 1D-X and 600 II + 1.4X III. ISO 2000. 1/3200sec at f/5.6. hand held from truck. Processed with DPP 4.15. Hope you like it

Very nice takeoff image.
The BG grey is so nice and sets off the kestrel beautifully.
IQ excellent as always.
I like the way the tips of the primaries are fanned out.
The little bit of spiderweb on the perch is not distracting but tell Dave he needs to get out his cleaning brush and scrub the bird poo from the perch!!
Actually, the whitewash is not all that bright so not a biggie for me.

Arash this image speaks to me ,brilliant work.

Another beautiful image. The bird and perch really stand out with that BG. Lovely details on both bird and perch and a great POV.

Killer shot and love the BG and spider web on the perch!

Simply superb Arash. Wonderful detail, lovely background and an interesting perch. I might be tempted to tone down some of the droppings on the perch.

Nice frame Arash. I really like the pose you caught her in with the nice look at the far wing and the feet hanging behind. IQ looks good and I like the webs on the perch.
Gail is right, after we installed a bunch of perches, the biggest problem we have is that the birds like them so much that they poop all over them. We have a wire brush and a bottle of water in the truck just for that purpose :)
