American Kestrel in flight

[arash_hazeghi]

Kestrel (female) showing her stuff, speedy little raptors are quite aggressive and one of the best hunters around.


7D + 400 f/4 DO + 1.4X TC f/8 1/1250sec ISO 400 (+0.3EV) sw: DPP3.7

Thanks for looking.

Agree to Clement on the colour part, still I feel ours looks better :D. Just kidding all kestrels looks beautiful.

Very nice bird and eye contact. Great details on wings. The catch light seems too big, did you add it?

[david cramer]

Great pose and very nice detail. 7D certainly working well with subjects against the sky.

[Stu Bowie]

You guys amaze me how you get eye contact in midflight. I like the dorsal view, and would maybe move her more to the URC. Well captured Arash.

[Michael Zajac]

Beautiful eye contact and details. I like the topside view. Might tone down the sky a bit. Great capture!

[Brian Barcelos]

Very lovely lady you captured there. Love the dorsal view and perfect look back. Did you make any sounds to get her to look at you? Congrats

Thanks Juan, I didn't add the catch light.

Arash, Great wing angle and head turn. Nicely captured image of a very fast bird indeed.

[Dave Leroy]

Good for you Arash. Excellent pose of a speedy little hawk. Dave

Nice pose and HA. I like the topside view and the clean BG. Tough bird to get in flight-nice job.

[John Blumenkamp]

I always love seeing topview images of any raptor, but espcially these little guys... the look back is awesome. Great job Arash.

[James Salywoda]

Love the banking pose Arash sweet shot....

[Steve Canuel]

I like the rising angle of the bird as well as the head turn and topside view.
