Kestrel Hover
Hi There
Another shot of "Marley" the Kestrel this time in a hover, alas the weather is back to standard UK cloudy and dark rather than sunshine. This is also with the 1DMKIIN so the high ISO performance is not as good as the MKIII.

Hi John!
I really love the action you have here! I'm not the greatest in composition, but maybe have the subject a tad higher in the frame? (to fly diagonally down to the lower right corner. The white bright background (to the left) tends to bring my eye there. If you are not opposed, cloning that part of the background is not too difficult ... or perhaps try darkening it a bit. That said, I like it!

The dull weather can be depressing....but with images such as this, I'd be cheered up quickly. I like Brian's suggestion of placement of the bird. The detail and exposure is perfect.....and colors are wonderful. Have you ever tried to use flash with these birds? I always like a catchlight in the eye and a little fill flash would certainly do the trick. Well done.....as always.

John, you should name him "Marley the Magnificent" because he surely is. And your image of him is wonderful. The upper left brightness is a distraction, but that can easily be resolved, as already stated. I wish this image were mine. :D
God bless.....Dick

This feels like when I'm rearranging the furniture. I think something will look good in a different place and have my husband move it. Then I think....no....it would look better over there....no.....and I end up where it started. I thought it might look better higher up but after seeing the repost, I think I like the original better. Maybe it's because this one does seem a bit tight. Also, there was some noise in the last image and this crop made it much more noticeable.
