Dinner for one, Common Kestrel

[Dennis Binda]

Mk3, 1000mm, ISO 800, f11, 1/125s

Dramatic action here, Dennis. Did you use any +EC here or did you need to open up the shadows/midtones in post? I think this could be cropped from the left a bit and I would be tempted to remove the 2 other branches as they are slighty OOF and showing some CA

[Dennis Binda]

Thanks for the input Tony. No comp. here, mostly pp. I have to say I like it the way it is. Cropping like you suggest would put the bird too much in the middle for my taste and I like to give my subjects a little room.

Great moment captured, details look good considering the low shutter speed. I would remove the two branches. Might work as vertical crop, too. Keep them coming!

[David Thomasson]

Nice timing and an interesting capture. There are colors lurking in the bird that could be brought out with levels, selective color, etc. (Not suggesting this as a crop.)
