    With out Lana this image would not have been possible. Many thanks for the great afternoon !!! Kestrels are so beautiful but they have a habit of landing anywhere but where you would like them too.

    I remember our "adventure well". I was so tickled that you had a couple of good opportunities with this guy. You just can't beat the Bosque colors. A wonderful pose and nice detail. The only nit would be the halo to the left of the pipe on the bottom. Well done.

    Yes truly a beautiful raptor Judy. Love the warm tones in this image and the great feather detail. I would just like to see a little more light on the front of face.

    Hi Judy,

    The Kestrals at Bosque were alot more cooperative than the ones I get around here. You really have nice light and a nice pose for this image. The bg is nice too. I wish the front of the bird wasn't in shadow though.
