Juvenile Male Kestrel
I got this image early this month at a local park, there were two juvenile male kestrels on this tree with active and friendly. Unfortunately the wind was so strong I couldn't get any flight shots but I was lucky to snap this frame. Even perched shots were tough with the brutal wind and a long lens!

Nice shot Arash, sharp, sweet color bands in the BG, I would clone out the cobweb on the perch though.

You did well in the tough conditions with the harsh light. The shadow on the back wrecks it for me :(

Tricky light but you appear to have detail in all aspects of the plumage, I like the pose and I am fine with the cobweb. The shadow behind the head on the neck/back doesn't improve things but I can live with it! Lovely shot.
I really like this one, the detail is tremendous. Really love the pose and another vote for leaving the web. Great crop and BG.

Beautiful detail on this smashing little Falcon,great calling pose ,another vote for the cobweb.

I like this and I love the BG and the layered colors.
Good IQ.Whites look great.
I am OK with the cobweb but could see a version without it.
I like the pose with nice head turn and body parallel to the sensor. I do not mind the shadow,

Lots of differing opinions, which is great! I normally like cobweb but I must admit I'd be tempted to remove it here. Pretty cool subject and sweet BG. You did best you could with the hard light. Strong winds can be brutal with long lenses! It is sometimes tempting to remove the large lens hoods when those conditions hit!
How cool that you got this guy sitting on a nice perch and with a killer BG. I like the pose and details too.
The shadow is a negative but I'm sure you didn't have an option. Nice work getting close to this guy.
