Kestrel in flight

[Rosl Roessner]

I was happy to get this image of a kestrel. He perched for a while on that tree and then flew off.

Made with my Mark III
Canon 500mm + 1.7 TC
1/800 sec. / F 7.1 / ISO 640

All Comments very welcome

Rosl,
1.7 TC in Canon?

You have captured the image at the right moment. Gives a nice feel to the image. I think you could have increased the ISO further. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Hi Rosl! Nice timing with the image capture. I think a little more sharpening would help. And I suspect that a faster shutter speed from pushing your ISO a bit would have helped in that regard (as Sabyasachi pointed out). I might rotate the image slightly CW to straighten the tree out some.

This one looks good to me as is. Great moment you caught here

[Raymond Barlow]

very well done Rosl., great timing and nice and sharp.

Great catch, Rosl. Agree re increasing ISO to get a bit more shutter speed.
